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!

I'm a vegetarian, so I used a combination of lentils and beans in my meatballs. They turned out great! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the meatballs were hearty and satisfying.

I made these meatballs in my slow cooker, and they turned out perfectly. I just browned the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker with the sauce. I cooked them on low for 6 hours, and they were fall-apart tender.

I'm allergic to pork, so I used all ground beef in my meatballs. They turned out great! The sauce was creamy and delicious, and the meatballs were perfectly cooked.

These meatballs were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs turned out a bit too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more milk or cream to the meatballs next time.

These Finnish meatballs were a hit at my dinner party! The beef and pork combination made them so tender and flavorful, while the creamy sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I served them with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam, just like in Finland
