Swedish meatballs

Swedish meatballs are a traditional dish that originated in Sweden. They consist of small, tender meatballs made from ground beef or pork, breadcrumbs, onions, spices, and cream sauce. The combination of flavors makes this dish both delicious and comforting. Here’s a simple recipe to help you prepare Swedish meatballs at home:

Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef or pork
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups beef broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter). You should get around 20-25 meatballs.

3. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the flour and stir it into the remaining fat. Cook for about 1 minute.

5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened further. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Add the cooked meatballs back into the skillet and gently stir them into the sauce. Let everything simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Garnish the Swedish meatballs with chopped fresh parsley before serving with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
