Description

Directions

• To make meatballs, place bread in a bowl, pour over milk and stand for 5 minutes.
• Place chopped herbs in a large bowl with pork, beef, egg, allspice and nutmeg. Gently squeeze excess milk from bread, then add to meat mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then using your hands, combine meatball mixture. Grease a large tray with oil. Using wetted hands, roll mixture into 28 2 cm-diameter meatballs. Place on prepared tray, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm.
• To cook meatballs, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, cook meatballs, turning, for 10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Wipe out pan and use additional oil, if necessary, between batches. Transfer to a large plate and set aside.
• To make sauce, add flour to same pan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until pale golden. Gradually stir in stock and cream, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until thickened.
• Cook noodles in boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, add reserved meatballs to sauce, stirring gently. Simmer for 5 minutes or until meatballs are warmed and sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Divide noodles among 4 shallow bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce, dollop a few teaspoonfuls of jam over meatballs, and serve scattered with extra herbs.
• Note
• • Lingonberry jam is available from Ikea, select delis and specialist food shops.
