Yield approximately 30 meatballs, 4 to 6 servings

2 slices fresh white bread
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons clarified butter, divided

A pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with the milk. Set aside.
  • In a 12-inch straight sided saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until the onions are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.

My mom used to have a vegetable sour cream and a lingonberry sauce on the table for those that might want to dip these in something.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Scandinavian

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

Meatballs:
2 tablespoons butter
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
1 ½ teaspoons fine salt
¼ cup milk
2 large eggs

¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 ¼ cups beef broth
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in butter until onion begins to turn translucent, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, bread crumbs, black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture; stir to combine.
  • Mix beef and pork into the bread crumb mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into butter and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk beef broth into butter mixture.

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat foil with cooking spray.
  • Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons meatball mixture into a ball using wet hands; repeat with remaining meatball mixture. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The better the quality of the beef, the better the meatballs will taste. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs: This will help to prevent them from crowding and steaming.
  • Brown the meatballs well: Browning the meatballs will help to develop their flavor and keep them from falling apart.
  • Simmer the meatballs in a flavorful sauce: The sauce will help to keep the meatballs moist and flavorful. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: Swedish meatballs are traditionally served with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and gravy. However, you can also serve them with rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Swedish meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
