For ➍
250 g minced beef
250 g minced pork
1 egg
250 cl cream & water
2.5 tbs finely chopped onion
1 tbs unsweetened rusk crumbs (or crumbled dry bread/biscuits)
2 cold boiled potatoes
4 tbs butter, margarine or oil
salt & pepper
Heat the onion till golden in a couple of tablespoons of lightly browned butter.
Mash the potatoes and moisten the flour in a little water. Mix all the ingredients until there is consistency and flavour generously with salt, white pepper and a little finely crushed allspice. Use a pair of spoons to shape the mixture into relatively large, round balls and transfer to a floured chopping board. Fry them slowly in plenty of butter.
Serve with the Swedish cream sauce, freshly boiled potatoes, lingonberry (or red berry) jam and salad.
The traditional recipe of köttbullar, Swedish meatballs, was made popular all over the world in the Ikea restaurants. And much easier to assemble.
