Method

  • step 1

    Mix together the onion, pork, egg yolk and half the dill in a bowl. Lightly wet your hands, then shape the mixture into 12 balls, each about the size of golf ball.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Tip in the meatballs and fry, turning often, for about 12-15 mins until golden all over. Mix together sour cream and remaining dill, then spoon over the meatballs. Serve with mashed potato or tagliatelle.

RECIPE TIPS
PREFER LAMB?

Minced lamb will work just as well here if you fancy a change from pork.

Rather bland

Very good. I find there's too much onion - especially as cutting it thin enough is hard and it keeps sticking out of the meatballs. Also, the second time I made it, the sauce curdled. Still nice, but it didn't look as appetizing.

Very nice. Would make this again with a few tweaks. Would probably make a gravy to go with them as I found the sour cream just disappeared into the meatballs, making the dish a tad dry. I think I would add the sour cream to some mash , yum. Or maybe I would add milk as fishnchips did

I used lamb (which always helps with flavour!) and all in all this is a solid recipe. I used chives instead of dill which had sold out and served with tagliatelle. It was meaty, creamy and filling which is hard to beat. A little lemon and something else might have been nice but it's all about…

I wasn't too keen on this - the only flavour comes from the dill. I added a little garlic but still nothing. Served with tagliatelle as suggested but wouldn't make again.
