Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place 1/2 cup cream and bread in a small bowl; let sit until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl along with pork, beef, allspice, egg, and onion, season with salt and pepper, and mix until evenly combined. DON'T over mix the meat. Shape mixture into 1″ balls. [ I use small scoops to ensure even sized meatballs.]
  2. ** Heat remaining butter in a 12″ skillet over medium heat; working in batches, add meatballs and cook, turning as needed, until browned all over and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate and set aside.
  3. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, until smooth and light brown, about 4 minutes. Whisk in beef stock until smooth, and then bring to a boil; stir in remaining cream and return meatballs to gravy. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring gently, until meatballs are warmed through, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve meatballs and gravy with mashed potatoes.
  4. ** I have now begun to simply bake the meatballs at 375 for 20 minutes rather than frying, but tradition dictates the frying method.
  5. [As an appetizer, gently blend the meatballs with their gravy and present in a carved out bread bowl.]
