Ingredients

  • 225 g lean pork mince
  • 225 g lean beef mince
  • 80 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 0.75 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp garlic granules
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 400 ml hot beef stock
  • 125 ml double cream

Instructions

Make the meatballs:

  • Mix together the pork mince, beef mince, breadcrumbs, onion, nutmeg, garlic, seasoning and eggs in a bowl until combined.
  • Roll the meat into 20 small meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the meatballs in two batches and brown on all sides until cooked through. This might be up to 8 mins for 2 batches. Remove meatballs into a paper towel lined plate and set aside somewhere warm.

Make the gravy:

  • Add the butter into the pan and melt it before adding in the flour and stirring for 1 min until the flour turns a light brown.
  • Then slowly whisk in the stock and cook, whisking constantly for up to 2 mins until you end up with a slightly thickened gravy.
  • Then mix in the double cream and redcurrant jam and season well.
  • Reduce to a low simmer, add in the meatballs and cook for a couple of mins until heated through.
  • Switch off the heat, garnished with parsley and serve with pasta, mash etc.
