- For each meatball, scoop 2 tablespoons pork mixture and roll into a ball with damp hands. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.
- Heat 1/2 Tbs olive oil and 1/2 Tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry meatballs until cooked through and crispy crust forms on each side, about 10 minutes, adding remaining 1/2 Tbs olive oil and 1/2 Tbs butter as needed. Keep warm.

Whisk in 1 Tbs tomato paste, 3/4 cup red wine, 2 cups beef stock and 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a low simmer and cook 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in 1 Tbs heavy cream and 2 tsp red currant jelly. Heat through and serve immediately with Frikadeller and boiled potatoes.
