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.
