1. Prep the Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince with the beaten egg, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, and 1 tablespoon of chopped dill. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. With clean hands, shape the mixture into small, walnut-sized meatballs, aiming to make around 20 meatballs.
2. Brown the Meatballs
Warm the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the pan, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook until they're evenly browned on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and set aside.
3. Make the Gravy
In the same pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Sprinkle the flour evenly into the melted butter, stirring constantly to combine. Continue cooking the roux for 2 minutes, then gradually begin to whisk in the hot beef stock. Keep whisking to prevent lumps from forming, until the gravy thickens.
4. Combine and Serve
Return the browned meatballs to the pan with the thickened gravy. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meatballs are heated through. To serve, sprinkle additional chopped dill over the meatballs. Pair with cranberry jelly, steamed greens, and creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
