Time 50m

Yield 45 meatballs, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup minced white onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
kosher salt
fresh ground white pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
1 large egg, plus one egg white, beaten
vegetable oil (for brushing)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
ligonberry jam (Swedish style of serving)

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons white pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Pour the milk mixture over the breadcrumbs and stir to make a thick paste; let cool. Add the beef, pork, egg and egg white to the bowl and mix until combined.
  • Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Roll the meat into 1" balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the meatballs until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the gravy: Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth. Whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with Ligonberry ja, if desired.

I found the meatballs to be a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid to the sauce next time.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.
