1. For the salad dressing, heat the red currant jelly and vinegar in a saucepan until the jelly has dissolved. Remove from heat, and pour into a small bowl to cool. Whisk in the hot sauce, a pinch of white pepper and oil. Toss the beets and apple in the dressing and leave to infuse for 1 hour.
2. To assemble the meatballs, melt 1 tbsp butter in a small pan and saute the onions, remove from the heat. Mix the breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup milk. Combine the ground veal, mustard, egg yolks and bread and knead the mixture well. Add the capers, onions, chervil, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp of pepper and knead the mixture again. Divide the mixture into 16 meatballs.
3. For the mashed potatoes, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 20 mins. Heat 1/3 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of butter, and 1/8 cup of cream. Drain the potatoes, mash well and mix with the milk and cream mixture.
4. Bring the chicken stock and wine to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook the meatballs in batches in the pan for 7 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain well. Pour the stock through a very fine sieve, return it to the pan, add 1/4 cup of butter and 2/3 cup of cream. Mix the cornstarch with a little water, add it to the mixture, and bring back to a boil until thickened. Season to taste and serve the meatballs, sauce and mashed potatoes garnished with chervil.
