Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Cut the potatoes to roughly equal size (approx. 4cm)
Add them to a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt and boil for 15 min or until you can pierce them easily with a fork
Add 200ml (350ml) boiling water to the chicken stock cube and whisk to combine
Combine the pork mince, breadcrumbs, allspice and half of the dried dill in a bowl
Season and mix together (use your hands)
Divide the mixture into 12 (24) walnut sized pieces
Using wet hands, shape into balls
Heat a pan (that has a lid) with 1 tbsp vegetable oil
When hot, add the meatballs
Cook until coloured, moving them around the pan so they colour evenly
After about 4 mins transfer them to a plate and reserve the pan
Chop the cranberries up finely
Top and tail the green beans
Return to the pork meatball pan
Add 1 tsp (2 tsp) of butter and melt over a medium heat
Add 1 tsp (2 tsp) of flour and stir into the butter
Cook for 1 min, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon
This is your roux
Add the chicken stock, whisk to combine and simmer on a low heat for 3 min
Add the chopped cranberries and dijon to the pan
Add the meatballs back to the pan and cover with a lid
Cook for a further 5 min, or until the meatballs are cooked through
Add the green beans to a pot with 100ml (200ml) boiling water
Add a lid and boil for 4 mins, then drain
Remove the meatballs from the heat and stir through the remaining dried dill and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) sour cream
Tip: Add more sour cream if you like it creamy!
Drain the potatoes, add a knob of butter, a splash of milk and mash them with a potato masher until creamy
Smaklig måltid (bon appetit!)
