-
First make the soured cream
sauce by placing all the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir
well and set aside or chill until needed.
-
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C
Fan/Gas 7. In a large bowl. mix together all the
ingredients for the meatballs, bar the sunflower oil. Once
evenly mixed, shape into burgers, weighing about 45g each
and making about 18.
-
Pour enough sunflower oil into
a large frying pan so you get a thin layer at the bottom,
about 2 mm thick. Heat well and sear the meatballs in
batches over a medium heat on all sides. Cook them for
about 4 minutes, adding oil as needed, until golden brown.
-
Carefully transfer the seared
meatballs into an oven tray lined with greaseproof paper
and place in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until just
cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the
sauce spooned over or on the side.
