Moose Meatballs with Pistachios

This is based on some pistachio containing 'game' meatballs I had the good fortune of tasting a while ago. This didn't turn out quite the way those meatballs were - but still quite nice.

Ingredients:
- 2 onions, finely diced
- 64 g (2 1/4 oz) pistachio nuts, chopped
- 500 g (1.1 lb) minced moose
- pepper
- 2 eggs
- a little milk
served with:
- boiled potatoes
- cornichons
- sliced pickled beet
- lettuce
- tzatziki

Minced moose, diced onions, chopped pistachios, pepper and eggs were added just enough milk to be able to stir the mixture - shouldn't be too liquid. Meatballs were shaped using a tea spoon and fried on the pan in a little oil.

The meatballs were served with potatoes boiled in lightly salted water, lettuce, tzatziki, slices of pickled beet and cornichons.
