step by step directions. We've Made Cooking As Easy As 1-2-3! print recipe 
  • step 1
    ingredients 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    instructions PREPARE THE MEATBALLS: Combine the breadcrumbs and heavy cream in a small bowl, stirring with a fork until all the crumbs are moistened.  Set aside.
  • step 2
    ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
    instructions Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat.  Add the onion and sauté for about five minutes, until softened.  Remove from heat.
  • step 3
    ingredients 1/2 pound ground chuck or sirloin
    1/2 pound ground veal
    1/2 pound ground pork
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 large egg
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    instructions In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, veal, pork, onion, honey, and egg, and mix well with your hands.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Add the bread crumb-cream mixture and mix well.  With wet hands (to keep the mixture from sticking), shape the mixture into meatballs the size of a golf ball, placing them on a plate lightly moistened with water.  You should have about 24 meatballs. 
  • step 4
    ingredients 3 unsalted butter
    instructions Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning frequently, for about 7 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through.  Transfer the meatballs to a plate and disregard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet. 
  • step 5
    ingredients 1 cup chicken stock
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup lingonberry preserves
    2 tablespoons juice from Quick Pickled Cucumbers
    Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    For Serving:
    Garlic mashed potatoes (get the recipe here)
    Lingonberry preserves
    Quick Pickled Cucumbers
    instructions PREPARE THE SAUCE: Return the skillet to the heat, whisk in the stock, cream, preserves, and pickle juice, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Add the meatballs to the sauce, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about five minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the meatballs are heated through.  Serve hot with the mashed potatoes (get the recipe here), preserves, and pickled cucumbers.
