Ingredients
For Meatballs
- 2 pound ground pork
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce I used Sriracha sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
For the mushroom sauce
- ½ pound cremini mushrooms sliced
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the meatballs: Add all the meatball ingredients (excluding the vegetable oil) to a large bowl and mix well using your hands. Shape into 1 inch meatballs. You should get about 40 to 50 meatballs.
- Prep for cooking: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Add some vegetable oil to a large skillet, about 1/4 cup and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Cook the meatballs: Add meatballs to the skillet and cook. If not all meatballs fit in the skillet you will have to do this in a couple batches. Cook the meatballs on all sides, adding more oil if needed in between batches. Remove meatballs from skillet to prepared baking sheet, to soak up the oil.
- Saute the mushrooms: Discard any leftover oil from the skillet and add the butter and melt. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.
- Create the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir, cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw taste of flour. Add the white wine, heavy cream and chicken broth. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and reduce a bit. If the sauce is too thick add a bit more heavy cream or chicken broth.
- Finish the dish: Add the meatballs to the mushroom sauce and toss them around making sure they're covered in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes until they heat through, then garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

Notes
- To bake the meatballs instead of frying, preheat your oven to 375 F degrees and bake for about 30 to 45 minutes until golden brown.
- This meatball recipe will last 3 – 4 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. To freeze just place the cooked meatballs on a baking sheet and freeze separately to begin with. Transfer them to a freezer bag or otherwise airtight container and place back in the cold and they’ll keep for up to 3 months.
