Instructions
- Start by placing all the ingredients for the meatballs into a large bowl and mixing together with your hands until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into quarters and then make 5 meatballs from each quarter (so 20 meatballs in total). Each meatball will weigh approximately 25g (I like to weigh my first meatball as a guide and then try to make the others about the same size).
- Put the meatballs on an oiled grill rack over a tray covered in foil and place under a medium hot grill (broiler) for 7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked all the way through.
- While the meatballs are cooking, get your creamy gravy started... In a large jug, mix the cornflour with a small amount of cold water to make a paste, then add the beef stock. Pour into a large wide saucepan or frying pan and cook over a medium heat until nicely thickened. Add the double cream and mix together thoroughly.
- Finally add the meatballs to the creamy gravy. Cook the meatballs in the cream sauce for 1 more minute and then serve with the mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam (or cranberry sauce) and picked cucumber. Garnish with dill.
Notes
- You can make these meatballs with just beef mince, but I prefer the flavour you get from mixing beef and pork mince.
- Suitable for freezing.
