Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 1 Onion diced
- 500 g Minced pork
- 80 g Dried breadcrumbs
- 1 Bunch of sage chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
For the Gravy:
- 40 g Butter
- 40 g Plain flour
- 100 ml Red wine
- 500 ml Beef stock
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Fry the diced onion over a medium heat until it softens. Set it aside for a few minutes to cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the minced pork, cooked onions, breadcrumbs, sage, egg, salt and pepper. Get stuck in with your hands and mix it really well.
- Roll the mixture into equal sized meatballs. Pan fry them over a medium to high heat until they are golden all over.
- Remove them from the pan and set aside for now, add the butter and cook until it melts.
- Add in the flour and stir to make a roux. Keep cooking, stirring often, until it starts to turn a dark brown. This will add flavour and make the gravy a rich darker colour.
- Pour in the red wine and stir well. Then gradually pour in the beef stock. You may want to use a whisk at this point. Stir until you have a smooth gravy. Add the worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard and stir it through.
- Add the meatballs back into the pan, then bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened, and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Season to taste then dish up with mashed potato and vegetables.
