Step 1
Mix ground pork, panko, egg, minced shallot, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Roll mixture into 12–16 meatballs about the size of golf balls. Set aside on a plate.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, sear meatballs without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown, then shake the pan to roll them and cook 2 minutes more until golden on another side.
Step 4
Whisk lingonberry jam, broth, and mustard in a small bowl, then pour over meatballs. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce coats and meatballs are cooked through.
Step 5
Taste sauce and adjust with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon if it needs brightness. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
