  2                     hard rolls or 2 slices white
                        bread with
                        -- crusts
  1                cup  warm water
     1/2         pound  chopped beef
     1/2         pound  chopped pork
     1/2         pound  chopped veal
  1                     medium-size onion -- finely
                        chopped
  1                     egg -- lightly beaten
  2        tablespoons  chopped parsley
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
     1/4      teaspoon  pepper
  1         tablespoon  flour -- up to 2
  2        tablespoons  butter
     1/2           cup  beef broth -- white wine or
                        milk

Preparation:

1. Brealk the folls or bread into pieces and soak them in the water. 2. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the chopped meats, onion, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. 3. Squeeze the water from the rolls and add them to the meat mixture, using your hands to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Form the mixture into small patties about 3/4 inch thick and dredge each with a little flour. 4. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Fry the patties slowly over a low flame, turning from time to time, until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove to a platter and garnish with parsley if you are serving them at room temperature. 5. To serve the Bouletten hot, remove to a warm platter. Add the half cup of broth, wine or milk to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over a medium flame, stirring constantly to incorporate the brown particles. Pour over the Bouletten and serve immediately.
