This dish came about when I was shopping with my friend Danielle. We ate meatballs with immense hooves. today lingonberry jam, mashed potatoes (me) and fries (zi) before making our way through the three-storey heaven/hell of North London IKEA. On the way home she very sweetly tried to come up with this recipe with me. which changed it from a somewhat unusual casserole with rhubarb to the delicious dish below.

Instructions

Step 1

preheat the oven to 200°C. Combine the fennel, beets, beans, garlic, oil and stock in a roasting tin large enough to fit in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 2

Mix the minced pork, the mustard, dill, the. fennel seed and egg in a food processor. and roll into 24 meatballs the size of walnuts. Divide them over the mixture with the beets and place in the oven for 25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.

Step 3

Stir in the sour cream, sprinkle with some dile and serve.

Step 4

NOTE: We recommend this dish. together with someone, the sal can grate the beets and the other can make the minced meat. If you have a food processor that's ok. can grate, I would definitely use Feld. is a non-Scandinavian addition, mad if you have leftover meatballs, then strongly recommend to beg them full-on with this. before you put them in the oven at 180 °C for 20 minutes
