Meatballs
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1/3 to 1/2 cups milk
1 cup oatmeal
3 ounces finely chopped bacon, or bacon lardons
sunflower or vegetable oil
Mustard Sauce
4 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped dill
2 teaspoons sugar, to taste

1
Mix all the meatball ingredients together and season very well.
2
Add more oatmeal if the mixture is too liquid.
3
If the onion is not finely chopped enough, it will make the mixture quite watery.
4
Fry off a small piece over medium heat in a little oil to check seasoning, they will probably need a lot more salt than you would think.
5
Form the mince into golf ball sized balls.
6
Pan fry in batches over medium heat in some sunflower or vegetable oil, until browned all over (10-15 minutes), turning often.
7
If they feel soft they aren't finished yet.
8
Alternatively, the far more hassle free way is to brush them with oil and bake on a tray lined with baking paper in an oven preheated to 480u00b0F for 20-25 minutes until browned.
9
To make the sauce, whisk the ingredients together into a bowl until you get an emulsified mayonnaise consistency sauce.
