Method
- Mix together the onion, pork, egg yolk and half the dill in a bowl. Lightly wet your hands, then shape the mixture into 12 balls, each about the size of golf ball.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Tip in the meatballs and fry, turning often, for about 12-15 mins until golden all over. Mix together sour cream and remaining dill, then spoon over the meatballs. Serve with mashed potato or tagliatelle.

I used lamb (which always helps with flavour!) and all in all this is a solid recipe. I used chives instead of dill which had sold out and served with tagliatelle. It was meaty, creamy and filling which is hard to beat. A little lemon and something else might have been nice but it's all about experimenting. My top tip to stop them falling apart is to grate the onion rather than chop it. Takes a bit longer but they stay together beautifully.
Thanks for the tips in extra seasonings. I also used, pork, lamb & hamburg. Mixed all three as my granny always did. And the sour cream makes it special just as hers was. We had it w/ peas, & mashed of course. They freezed wonderfully, cooked or uncooked. I freeze them on a cookie sheet first idividually then put them in a freeze bag and they have done wonderul.
mmmmmmmm !!
