  1. Mix all the ingredients for the balls into a compact mass and shape into balls. Fry them gently on all sides until golden brown in a pan with a little oil, then remove from the pan and set aside. (You can also put the balls on a baking sheet, brush with oil and bake in the oven at 180 °C.)
  2. Add butter to the pan and fry the onion until translucent. Add the mushrooms, salt, add a little cumin and fry until the water evaporates from the mushrooms. Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate. Then add the broth and cook for a while, add the cream. Remove part of the sauce and blend it, it will thicken naturally. Return it to the pot, add the meatballs and let it heat up together. Finally, sprinkle with thyme leaves.
