Ingredients
4 Servings
- 1 tsp allspice
- 480 ml beef broth
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 60 g breadcrumbs
- 30 g butter
- 1 egg
- 30 g flour
- 500 g ground beef
- 250 g ground pork
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 240 ml milk

Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
