How to cook

Prepare the meatballs

Stir fry the red onions with 1 teaspoon of salt until light brown (about 2 minutes) then set them aside to cool to room temperature.
Combine the fried onions with minced meat, fresh coriander, mustard, egg, plain flour, milk and black pepper.
Form the meatball mixture into balls then set aside in the fridge to firm up for 10 minutes.
In a pan over medium heat add 3 tablespoon of oil, brown the meatballs on each side (about 1 minute per side) and remove from the pan.
Alternatively, you can bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 190°C (top & bottom heat, fan on) for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.

Prepare the mustard gravy

In a pan, add butter and garlic and cook until garlic has softened.
Whisk in the flour, mixing it constantly for 45 seconds so it does not burn.
Add in the beef stock to deglaze the pan and add in the mustard, soy sauce, milk, salt and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, then add the meatballs and simmer for 5 minutes.

Assemble and serve

Serve the meatballs browned to perfection and smothered in the creamy gravy sauce.
Garnish with sauerkraut, chopped coriander and sour cream if you desire.
