Heat the oil in a pan and fry the meatballs in batches over a medium heat until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.

Melt the butter in the pan. Add the flour and whisk until it turns light brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer, whisking, until thickened. Add the meatballs and any juices and simmer for 2 minutes.
