Easy Swedish recipe “Meatball at home”

  • 350 grams ground beef
  • 200 grams plain sausage meat (if unavailable, you can substitute with Toulouse sausages, removing the skin)
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper

For the sauce:

  • 40 grams butter
  • 25 grams flour
  • 600 milliliters water
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
  • Pepper

Instructions :

For the meatballs:

  1. Place the ground meat in a large bowl and add the sausage meat, finely chopped onion, nutmeg, paprika, mustard, salt, pepper, cornstarch, egg, and parsley. Mix well.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs. You can make them large or small, depending on your preference.
  3. Heat a greased skillet over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

For the sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour. Stir well for 1 minute.
  2. Gradually add some of the beef broth, stirring constantly until it thickens. Continue adding more broth and repeating the process until all the broth is used. Season with pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, then add the meatballs to the sauce.
  5. This is a recipe that I recommend serving with rice, pasta, or potatoes.

Enjoy your meal!
