Finnish Meatballs image

Finnish meatballs are meatier and bigger than Swedish meatballs. They are also served with lingonberry jam and boiled/mashed potatoes, and a gravy, but they are juicier and yummier. In my opinion at least!

Time 30m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb minced meat
3 ounces sour cream or 3 ounces creme fraiche
3 big onions
2 large eggs
1 1/2 ounces chopped roasted onions
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
1 whole garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 cup demi-glace
1 cup water
2 tablespoons beef broth (you can get this from the meatballs themselves or from a bullion cube)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 dl vodka

Steps:

  • The meatballs:.
  • Preheat oven at 350 F/175°C
  • Finely chop the onions.
  • Combine the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix with your hands.
  • Let rest for about 15 minutes.
  • Once rested, roll the meat batter into balls. Mine tend to fit nicely in the palm of my hand. I would guess they are about the size of golf balls.
  • Place the balls onto a baking sheet with some room to breathe between each of them.
  • Cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • The sauce:.
  • Melt butter at a pan and add flour.
  • Once a little brown, add demi glace and blend until it's well mixed.
  • Add water and beef broth and let it "boil" for about 30 minutes.
  • Add cream and vodka.
  • The sauce should be a little thick, but not too thick, and definitely not watery.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven, and place them in a big, oven-safe pot or bowl.
  • Pour the sauce over the meatballs. The bowl should be deep enough to have all the meatballs inside and no fear of sauce overflowing.
  • Replace the container into the oven at a low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Dish served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. Very yummy and worth the time to make!

The meatballs were flavorful, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.

These meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was very good. I think I would add more milk or broth to the meatballs next time.

These meatballs were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very tasty. The sauce was also very good. I served them over rice and it was a delicious meal.
