Swedish Meatballs Ingredients: 1 cup bread, rye (crumbled) 1/3 cup milk 1 pound beef, ground (lean) 1 pound pork, ground (lean) 3 egg 1/2 cup onion (finely diced) 1/2 teaspoon allspice, ground 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided) 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups stock, beef 1 tablespoon sour cream Instructions: In a small bowl, mix the crumbled bread and milk. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix the ground meats, eggs, onion, spices and bread mixture. Roll into balls about 1-2 inches in diameter (about 1 tablespoon) and place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet, add several meatballs (without crowding the pan) and cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning them every few minutes to brown evenly. Remove cooked meatballs to a pan or baking dish in a warm oven, add more oil to the pan, and cook the remaining meatballs. Once meatballs are cooked, melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet, add the flour and stir well. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir in sour cream. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes or place the meatballs on a shallow platter and pour the sauce over them. Serve warm. Description: For an appetizer course, drizzle slightly-thinned lingonberry preserves or cranberry sauce over the platter of meatballs and skewer each with a toothpick. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes or over egg noodles, Swedish meatballs pair nicely with a tart side dish like vinegar braised red cabbage or a sweet and sour cucumber salad. The uncooked meatballs can be frozen for up to 3 months. Notes: Posted with permission from StrongerTogether.coop.
