Directions:

1. Heat 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in a small pan and cook the onion until soft. Set aside to cool.
2. Combine the bread crumbs and milk together in a large bowl. Add egg, cooked onion, ground beef, ground pork and all the spices. Mix together well, then form into 28 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick pan. Fry the meatballs in batches until about 1/2 cooked (still pink in the center). Set aside.
4. Make the sauce in the same pan by melting the butter then whisking in the flour and let cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the beef broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
5. Add the meatballs back to the pan and allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes.
