Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.33333334326744 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 pound ground pork
  • 0.5 medium onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 0.33333334326744 cup salted butter
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, combine milk, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes until the bread crumbs have soaked up the milk.
  • Combine the beef, pork, onion, and parsley using your hands until fully mixed. Shape the mixture into 24 small meatballs or 16 larger meatballs.
  • In a hot pan, melt butter and oil. Cook meatballs in batches until golden and fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes. Use a thermometer to check that they have reached 160°F (71°C). Keep warm by covering with foil on a plate.
  • Melt butter in the pan juices over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook until it turns brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, beef broth, cream, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and continue to simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Gently combine the meatballs with the gravy and serve.
