Swedish Meatballs With Paprika Gravy Recipe

	Waterlily / All my dishes 7 months, 3 weeks ago I guarantee that you don’t need to be Scandinavian to love this dish! Simmering the meatballs makes them unreasonably tender -- and yes, I know, tenderness is not a quality one often associates with meatballs. Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:68	Waterlily

Ingredients

For the meatballs:

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound uncooked sausage

3/4 cup bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, or oatbran

2 eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk or half & half

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 T Worcestershire sauce (to your taste)

salt, pepper (to your taste)

4 cups water or stock

For the gravy:

3 T butter

1 T sweet Hungarian paprika

1 tsp. hot paprika

1/2 cup onion, diced very finely

3 cups total of beef stock, chicken stock, or a combination

2 cups sour cream

1/2 cup whole wheat flour or 1/4 c corn starch

Directions

Mix the meatball ingredients well with your hands until all ingredients are completely combined. Shape into small balls (slightly smaller, and much rounder, than a chicken egg). Bring the water or stock to a boil in a large pot. Add the meatballs, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes or until done.

Meanwhile, heat butter over medium heat in large skillet or sauce pan. Add paprika and sauté about 1 minute, then add onions and cook until fragrant and translucent, stirring often. Raise heat and add stock(s). Combine whole wheat flour or corn starch with about 1/2 cup water (mix well) and add to mixture, whisking in. Cook about 10 minutes until gravy is slightly thickened and reduced. Lower heat to low and whisk in sour cream. Heat through.

Drain meatballs and transfer to a serving dish. Pour gravy over, and serve. I like this over spaetzle or other dumplings.
