Meatballs
Ingredients
- 400g lean pork mince
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
- 85g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 400ml hot beef stock (from a cube is fine)
Method
Make the Meatballs
Prepare the Meatball Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, beaten egg, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, dill, and some salt and pepper. Mix well.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of walnuts. You should have approximately 20 meatballs.
Cook the Meatballs
Brown the Meatballs:
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the meatballs in batches (if necessary) and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Dill Gravy
Prepare the Gravy:
In the same pan, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the hot beef stock, making sure to stir constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue whisking until the gravy thickens.
Finish the Dish
Simmer the Meatballs:
Return the browned meatballs to the pan, ensuring they are coated in the gravy.
Simmer for a few minutes until the meatballs are heated through and fully cooked.
Serve
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle extra dill over the meatballs before serving.
Serve hot with a side of cranberry jelly, steamed greens, and creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
