Step 1

Dice the onions and fry in butter until nicely browned. Then in a bowl add the bread crumbs, crack in the egg and add the cream & mustard. Season with all spice & herbs, then add the mince and onions. Top with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

Step 2

Then roll into balls and leave to set in the fridge for an hour.

Step 3

For the cucumbers, thinly slice and then finely chop the dill. Place in a pickling jar. Then combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a jug, stir well and pour over the cucumbers. Leave in the fridge for an hour.

Step 4

For the mash, peel the potatoes and put onto boil for 15-20 mins or until completely soft. Drain, add the butter, cream and season well. Mash until smooth.

Step 5

For the meatballs, get a pan on a medium high heat. Add butter and once it melts add the meat balls. Turn until nicely browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Then put to the side, add more butter, flour and stir well. Then slowly add the stock until you have a thick sauce. Pour in the cream and let it reduce. Season to your liking.
