Ingredients

For the meatballs

• 1 pound ground beef (500 g)
• ½ pound ground pork (250 g)
• 1 onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 3½ oz breadcrumbs (100 g)
• 1 egg
• 5 tbsp whole milk
• salt
• pepper

For the sauce

• olive oil
• 1½ oz butter (40g)
• 1½ oz flour (40g)
• 5 oz vegetable stock (150ml)
• 5 oz beef stock (150ml)
• 5 oz thick double cream (150ml)
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

For the meatballs

• Start by finely chopping the onion.
• Then add the meat to a large bowl and add the onion over it, the crushed garlic, the breadcrumbs, the egg, the milk, generous amount of salt and the pepper.
• Mix everything together until the mixture looks like a paste.
• Then, shape the mixture into small round meatballs and add them to a plate. Use water when shaping them, so the meat won’t stick to your hands and to create a smooth outside layer for the meatballs.
• Add 3 ounces (or 100 ml) of vegetable oil into a pan and let it heat up for 2 minutes.
• After that, place the meatballs into the pan, leaving space between them and cook until golden brown. When done, place them in an oven tray covered with a baking sheet.
• While the meatballs are frying, preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius).
• Place the tray with the meatballs into the oven and let them bake for 20 mins.

For the sauce

• First, melt the butter in a pan, at medium heat.
• Then, add a splash of olive oil so that the butter won’t burn.
• Slowly add the flour and whisk for 2 mins.
• Next, slowly add the stock and whisk continuously until you get a smooth cream
• Continue by adding the soy sauce, mustard and the cream while whisking. You want to have everything well combined.
• Serve the meatballs with a generous amount of sauce, boiled or mashed potatoes and of course, lingonberry jam.
