A fabulous alternative to Italian meatballs, these yummy bites will be a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices white bread, crust removed and roughly chopped
  • 60ml milk
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 450g minced beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 60ml cream
  • 1 tbsp dill, chopped
  • To serve:
  • Mashed potato
  • Cranberry Sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the bread and milk in a bowl and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Add the onion, mince, egg and spices and season. Mix well and roll into bite sized meatballs.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, for 5 minutes, or until browned all over. Drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Add flour to the pan and cook, stirring, for a minute, or until bubbling. Stir in the stock and cream, and bring to the boil. Return the meatballs to the pan and reduce the heat to a slow bubble.
  4. Simmer for ten minutes until the meatballs are cooked though and the sauce has thickened. Sprinkle with dill and serve with mashed potato and cranberry sauce.
