Swedish Meatballs

Serves a very full 3 or small 4

minced beef (200g)
minced pork (250g)
1 egg
1 small onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
100g panko
pinch of nutmeg
oil for frying
200ml beef stock
200ml double cream
400g of new potatoes
fresh dill or english parsley, chopped
4 tbsp lingonberry jam


1. Mix beef & pork mince, nutmeg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs and egg together with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Roll and shape the mixture into lots of walnut-sized meatballs. Knock each ball against the palms of your hand.

3. Peel the washed potatoes into a steamer and steam for 15 minutes.

4. Heat some oil in a non-stick pan and fry the meatballs until they brown all over.

5. Add the beef stock and cream to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add pepper to the sauce and place onto plates.

6. Remove the potatoes from the steamer and toss with some butter, salt and pepper.

7. Chop the dill/parsley and garnish before serving with the potatoes and with a dollop of lingonberry jam on the side.

* Tip: If you can't find lingonberry jam (Ikea has them), use cranberry jam, or a mixed berry jam will work just as well. 

* I got this recipe From Sorted Food (with my own little tweak). Great recipe!!
