Ingredients

For the meatballs

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • ½ cup finely chopped white onion

  • 2 cloves garlic

    minced

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ cup unseasoned dry breadcrumbs

  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/4 cups beef stock

  • 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • lingonberry preserves

Step By Step

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium meat. When the butter is foamy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the ground pork, ground beef, breadcrumbs, allspice, nutmeg, eggs, salt, and pepper.
2
Using your hands, blend meatball mixture until well combined. Scoop out into 2 tablespoon portions (slightly smaller than a golf ball), then roll and shape. Set meatballs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
3
Bake meatballs for 10 minutes. While the meatballs are in the oven, make the sauce.
4
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is foamy, whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture cooks to a light brown color and turns very foamy, about 3 minutes.
5
Gradually whisk in the stock, followed by the Worcestershire and mustard. Whisk in the cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. The sauce will be thick. Remove from the heat.
6
With the meatballs still in the oven, turn on the broiler setting. Brown the meatballs for about 5-10 minutes.
7
When done, remove the meatballs from the oven. Check the sauce. If it’s too thick, whisk in some more beef stock to get it to the right consistency.
8
Toss the meatballs in the sauce and serve immediately with cocktail picks and a side of lingonberry or cranberry preserves.
