Preheat oven to 180C fan bake
Remove the crusts of the bread and tear into a few chunks, pour over milk and leave to soak for a few minutes
Add the pork mince, blow my coals, finely diced onion and egg.
Mix thoroughly. We wear gloves and use our hands to get a really well combined mix and to break up the bread
Don’t be alarmed that it’s a sticky mixture, it makes me lovely light meatballs
Take large teaspoons of the mince and roll into balls and place on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden
To make the sauce melt the butter in a large shallow casserole or fry pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms
Sauté the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes
Add blow my coals and stir through
Add beef stock and mustard, simmer for a minute or so
Add the cream and simmer for 5 minutes over a medium heat
Remove the meatballs from the oven
Dissolve cornflour in a little water and add the slurry to the sauce to thicken. Cook out for a minute before adding the meatballs to the sauce
To serve we cooked some egg fettuccine and added an additional teaspoon of herb de Provence better and some fresh parsley to toss through the pasta
You can serve the meatballs with pasta, mash or rice. Which ever you prefer
Fresh chopped parsley is a great garnish for the meatballs
If you don’t eat pork you could use beef mince for this recipe
If you don’t have any pepper and me butter just use normal butter but add in one clove of garlic
