boulets à la Liégeoise

Posted on May 14, 2026 by Ella

A boulet is a  meat ball made from minced pork or beef or a mixture of the two. Liege style boulets are large with a serving consisting of only one or two meatballs.  Smaller than a baseball, bigger than a golf ball. The boulets are simmered in a rich gravy made with onions, beef broth, and sirop de Liege, often with sultanas added. The sauce was what you’d expect from gourmet French cooking. Savory and delightful. 

boulets à la Liégeoise With frites and salad

Served with frites (Belgian style). Both ketchup and mayo were provided. And a small salad. What’s been lovely here is that salads are generally a mix of dark greens. No iceberg or romaine lettuce here.
