Finnish Meatballs image

These irresistible, bite-sized meatballs are made from a combination of ground beef and pork, milk-soaked bread crumbs, grated Gouda cheese and a healthy spoonful of allspice. Once browned in a skillet, they are transferred to a Dutch oven, where they simmer until done then finished off with a glug of heavy cream. Serve with buttered red potatoes, egg noodles or with toothpicks.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup whole milk
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
6 ounces Valley Shepherd Califon Tomme, Cato Corner Dutch Farmstead or other mild and buttery Gouda-style cheese
1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, finely minced
3/4 cup finely minced onion
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup chicken or beef broth
1/4 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk just until steaming. Remove from heat and press bread into the milk; set aside.
  • Grate cheese on large holes of a box grater and place in large bowl. Add parsley, onion, eggs, salt, white pepper, black pepper and allspice. Stir well to combine. Add ground beef, ground pork and milk-soaked bread. Knead by hand or mix with a large wooden spoon until well-blended.
  • Spread flour on a plate. Roll meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, and roll in flour to coat. Place a Dutch oven over very low heat, and add broth. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Working in batches, add enough meatballs to loosely fill pan. Sear for about 1 minute, then shake pan to turn meatballs. Continue until well browned on all sides, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Transfer meatballs to Dutch oven and allow them to gently simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring carefully from time to time. Add cream and heat just until warmed. If desired, serve with small potatoes or egg noodles that have been tossed with butter and parsley.

The sauce for these meatballs is amazing. It's creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the meatballs.

I love that this recipe uses three different types of meat. It gives the meatballs a really complex and flavorful taste.

These meatballs were so easy to make, and they turned out perfectly. I served them with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam, and they were a huge success.

I've tried many meatball recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The combination of beef, pork, and veal makes for a delicious and juicy meatball.

These Finnish meatballs were a hit with my family! The sauce was flavorful and the meatballs were moist and tender. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
