Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the meatballs:
1/2 cup dry fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 pound ground beef
2 tbsp honey
1 large egg
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp unsalted butter
For the sauce:
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup lingonberry preserves
2 tbsp pickle juice
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make meatballs: in a bowl, mix bread crumbs with cream until moist. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, saute until softened. Remove from heat. Mix onion with meat, honey and egg in a clean bowl, using your hands. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in bread-crumb mix. With wet hands, make 24 golf-ball seized meatballs. Place on a slightly wet plate. Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning often until browned and cooked, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate. Keep skillet on heat, discarding all but 1 tablespoon of fat. Make sauce: whisk stock, cream, preserves and pickle juice into skillet. Simmer, add salt and pepper to taste. Add meatballs, reduce heat to med, simmer until heated through (5 minutes) and sauce is slightly thickened (thicken with roux of flour and chicken stock). Serve hot with preserves and pickles.
