SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Swedish Meatballs image

Provided by Marcus Samuelsson

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup crushed rusks or white bread (bread crumbs)
3/4 cup cream
1 cup ground beef
1/2 cup ground veal
1/2 cup ground pork, preferably with fat (may be substituted for more beef)
1/2 finely chopped onion
Butter for frying
1 egg
Salt
White pepper
Soy sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Soak the bread (bread crumbs) in the cream. Mix the ground meat and add the cream and bread mixture. Brown the finely chopped onion in a little butter. Mix the onion with an egg and add it to the meat mixture. Work the mixture until smooth. Add some more water to give a smooth consistency, season with pepper and salt as you go.
  • Roll the meat into balls. The simplest method is to shape them using the wet palm of your hand and a couple of tablespoons, alternately standing them in a glass of hot water.
  • Melt rather large quantity of butter and put 10 to 20 meatballs at a time, depending on their size. Let them brown, and shake the pan now and again so that they roll around, removing each one when they are ready.
  • If the meatballs are to be served with gravy or sauce, proceed as follows:
  • Rinse the frying pan with water after each frying and add new butter. When all the meatballs are ready, sprinkle a little flour in the pan, pour in the gravy (i.e. butter from the frying and water used to rinse the pan) and stir until the sauce is even. Flavor with a little white pepper, salt and perhaps some Soy Sauce. Let the meatballs bubble gently for a few minutes in the sauce, over low heat. If a creamy sauce is desired, pour cream into the pan after the last frying.
  • Serve the meatballs with potatoes, lingonberries, salt or pickled cucumber and gravy.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a moist and flavorful meatball. If you like a leaner meatball, use ground turkey or chicken.
  • Soak the bread in milk before adding it to the meatball mixture. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Form the meatballs into 1-inch balls and brown them in a skillet over medium heat. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meatballs from drying out.
  • Transfer the browned meatballs to a slow cooker and add sauce. Cook the meatballs on low for 6-8 hours, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also use them as a sandwich filling or appetizer.
