Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or beef/pork mix)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for frying)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for gravy)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for risotto)
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
  • 4 cups warm chicken or veggie broth
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp butter (for risotto)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. For the meatballs: Soak breadcrumbs in milk. Mix all meatball ingredients, form into balls, and brown in a skillet with olive oil. Set aside.
  2. For the gravy: Sauté mushrooms in butter until browned. Add flour, stir, and slowly whisk in broth. Simmer until thick, then add cream. Return meatballs to pan to simmer in sauce.
  3. For the risotto: In another pan, cook shallots in oil, stir in rice. Add wine (if using), then gradually add warm broth while stirring continuously. Finish with Parmesan, butter, and salt.
  4. Assemble: Plate creamy risotto, top with meatballs and mushroom gravy. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Tip: Make extra gravy — you’ll want to pour it over everything.
