Swedish Meatballs Recipe

	Arpelia / All my dishes 1 month ago A simple recipe for Swedish meatballs with a hint of spice. I found it in a Norwegian newspaper a few years ago, the only thing changed is the meat used (not a fan of veal), and the Worchestershire sauce. Prep:15m Cook:40m Servings:4	Arpelia

Ingredients

500g (1 pound) each of ground pork and lean ground beef. Or just beef. I like mixing it up a bit because pork is cheaper.

1-2 onions, minced (really, you want this as tiny as possible – tossing it in a food processor would be the easiest way, if you’re lucky enough to have one)

2-3 eggs, depending on how large they are

1 tsp fennel seeds

2 tsp coriander seeds

1/4-1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp salt

Margarine or butter for frying. Or just use Pam, whichever, it all works.

Optional: a splash or three of Worchestershire sauce

Directions

Grind coriander and fennel.

Put eggs, spices and minced onion in a bowl, mix it all together.

Add meat, mix well so everything is nicely blended.

Shape smallish meatballs and fry them until the pink is pink no more – smaller meatballs taste better than large ones, although it takes forever to make that many. I usually go for about a handful of meatball mix, which makes a medium sized ball.

Serve with brown gravy (I cheat and use either powdered or canned meatball gravy from St. Hubert. If you happen to be in Quebec it should be easy to find), boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam for ultimate nommage :)

These are perfect for making in huge batches to freeze for later. I just defrost some in the gravy for a quick dinner.
