In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, except the oil, and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs (or 20 small meatballs, if preferred).
Heat the oil, then cook the meatballs over medium heat in a large skillet, turning as needed, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook until it turns golden. Gradually stir in beef stock, cooking cream, Dijon mustard and Instant Umami Blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the sauce has thickened, return the meatballs to the skillet and toss them in the gravy. Cook until the meatballs are heated through.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Loved this recipe and this blend. It was so tasty! Hope it comes back, would love to repurchase :)
We’ve already made this twice since opening the calendar, it was fantastic! Hope it becomes permanent.
And so easy. Wish the Umami Blend was a permanent that we could order
Delicious. Great meatballs. Wish the packet was bigger.
This was delicious! Full of creamy flavour! We served it with mash potato and safe to it’s now a family favourite! Everyone inhaled it. As this is an exclusive spice to the advent calendar, I’m really hoping it will be released in 2026.
