Ingredients

8 servings

For the meatballs

⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
¼ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Use a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed.
1 large egg
¼ cup yellow onion, finely grated
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For the sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 cups chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
½ cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a paste.
2
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, grated onion, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat.
