For the meatballs, mix the minced meat, breadcrumbs, egg and mustard in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into about 12 meatballs. Heat some oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the meatballs on both sides for 4–5 minutes until golden brown.

Wash the parsley, shake it dry, pick the leaves and chop finely. Arrange the meatballs with the sauce and serve garnished with parsley. 

In the meantime, peel the onions and slice them finely. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. Melt the butter in the pan, stir in the flour and cook gently for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the stock. Slice the gherkins and add them to the stock along with the mustard and onions. Leave everything to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
