4 servings · 60 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 4 servings.
- 400 g Minced beef
- 200 g Minced pork
- 60 g White bread, crusts removed
- 300 ml Cream
- 1 piece Onion, very finely chopped
- 1 piece Egg
- 0.5 tsp Ground allspice
- 300 ml Beef stock
- 2 tbsp Plain flour
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 60 g Butter
- to taste Lingonberry jam
- to taste Salt and pepper
Method
- Soak the bread in a hundred millilitres of the cream for ten minutes and mash it to a paste.
- Fry the onion in butter until soft and cool it completely: warm onion starts cooking the meat.
- Mix both minces with the panade, onion, egg, allspice and salt, and work it for five minutes until tacky.
- Roll walnut-sized balls with wet hands and fry them in butter in batches, shaking the pan so they roll and colour evenly.
- In the same pan whisk the flour into the remaining fat, pour in the stock and the rest of the cream, add the soy and cook five minutes to a sauce.
- Return the meatballs to the sauce and warm them through for five minutes. Serve with mashed potato, lingonberry and pickled cucumber.
