Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Sauté the onions until soft the remove the heat from the pan and let cool.

While the onions are cooking, place pork, beef, eggs, panko, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. When the onions are slightly cool, add to the mix then use your hands to mix everything throughly. Shape into 1 inch meatballs, being sure to tightly roll them around so they keep their round shape. Place meatballs on a plate or tray, shaping meat until everything is rolled up.

Over medium heat, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan that you cooked the onions in. When hot, add several meatballs to the pan, cooking in batches, being sure not to over crowd. Immediately start shaking the pan, ensuring that the balls roll around to maintain their meatball shape. Or, if you don’t mind slightly flattened meatballs, just let the meatballs sear. Let the meatballs cook, shaking the pan every so often, until meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the pan as they cook.

When all the meatballs are cooked, make the sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Sprinkle on the flour, whisk and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the beef stock and cream and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce starts to thicken. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce if using.

Serve the meatballs with the cream sauce, cucumbers, and ligonberry jam.
