For The Sauce
- 1 tbsp. Butter
- 1 tbs. Plain Flour

- tbs. MasterFoods™ Professional Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp. MasterFoods™ Professional All-Purpose Seasoning
- 2 tbsp. Lingonberry Jam
For The Cauliflower Rice

Cooking Instructions:
-
1 To make the meatballs, combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large mixing bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the milk to be absorbed.
-
2 Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Roll into small golf ball sized balls (this should make about 30) and place onto a roasting sheet tray lined with baking paper. Cover with cling wrap and chill for at least an hour to firm up.
-
3 Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden all over. Remove meatballs from pan and set aside until needed.
-
4 Add flour and butter to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
5 Add the all-purpose seasoning, Dijon mustard, jam, cream, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat and return the meatballs to the pan.
-
6 Meanwhile, for the cauliflower rice, heat another frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and spices and toast for 5 minutes, or until the rice takes on a golden nutty colour.
-
7 Serve the meatballs on the cauliflower rice and garnish with cucumber ribbons, fermented red cabbage, and fresh dill fronds.
Tips:
-
1 Replace the meat with plant-based mince to make vegetarian meatballs.
-
2 Serve with a creamy potato mash swirled with MasterFoods™ Professional Seeded Mustard for a heartier meal.
-
3 Add a sprinkling of MasterFoods™ Professional Chilli Flakes to the meatballs for added heat.
