- 1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
- 85g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill, plus extra to serve
- 1tbsp each olive oil and butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and brown the meatballs. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Remove from pan, melt the butter, then sprinkle over the flour and stir well. Cook for 2 mins, then slowly whisk in the stock. Keep whisking until it is a thick gravy, then return the meatballs to the pan and heat through. Sprinkle with dill and serve with cranberry jelly, greens and mash.
