Steps

  • Remove crusts from bread, place in a bowl, cover with 100ml milk, and soak for five minutes.
  • Add beef, pork, shallot, garlic, anchovies, and seasoning into a blender.
  • Squeeze excess milk from the bread, discard the milk, and add the bread to the blender.
  • Blend the ingredients until a thick meat mixture forms.
  • Roll the mixture into small walnut-sized balls using slightly wet hands.
  • Heat a non-stick pan with 5ml olive oil and 5g butter.
  • Fry meatballs in batches for 6-8 minutes until evenly browned.
  • Transfer the browned meatballs into a non-stick roasting tray.
  • Bake in the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes to finish cooking.
  • Combine stock, wine, shallot, garlic, bay leaf, mushrooms, and ketchup in a saucepan and boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer the sauce for 40 minutes.
  • Stir in 250ml cream, simmer until thickened, and season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove meatballs from the oven and drain any rendered fat.
