SWEDISH MEATBALLS AND NOODLES
FOR MAKING THE SWEDISH MEATBALLS, I USED:
- 2 Tbsp.Of olive oil.
- A diced onion.
- 500 grams.Of lean ground beef.
- 500 grams.Of ground meat
- ½ Cup.Of breadcrumbs.
- 2 egg yolks.
- ¼ Tsp.Of ground allspice.
- ¼ Tsp.Of ground nutmeg.
- 1½ Tsp.Of kosher salt.
- ¾ Tsp.Of fresh ground black pepper.
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE GRAVY:
- ¼ Cup.Of unsalted butter.
- ⅓ Cup.Of all-purpose flour.
- 3¾ Cups.Of low-sodium beef broth.
- ¾ Cup.Of sour cream.
- 2 Tbsp.Of fresh chopped parsley.
- 500 grams.Of cooked egg noodles, or brown rice for serving.
READYING:
First Action In a large pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the onion is transparent, about 2 to 3 minutes of constant flipping cooking is all that is required. After that, take the onion out of the pan.
Step Two
In a big bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg yolks, nutmeg, and allspice. Add the onion and season with a few pinches of salt and black pepper, to taste.
Step Three
Stir the mixture thoroughly with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined. Using clean hands, roll the ingredients into balls the size of about 1 1/2 inches for meatballs.
Step Four
One tablespoon of the leftover olive oil should be added to the pan. The meatballs should be added in batches and fried for four to five minutes on each side, or until browned. Afterward, they should be placed on a tray covered with paper towels.
Step Five
To make the sauce for the Swedish meatballs, heat the butter in a pan. When whisking for about a minute, the flour should be light golden in color.
Step Six
Once the beef stock has been whisked in gradually, heat, stirring constantly, for about one to two minutes, or until the liquid has slightly thickened.
Step Seven
Stir in the sour cream, and then season it to taste with salt and pepper. Once the meatballs are added, simmer for a further 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through.
Step Eight
Serve right away, and feel free to add parsley as a garnish.
