Classic Swedish Meatballs

Now you can recreate the meatballs you've enjoyed on furniture shopping trips at home...

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 15 minutes
    •    Cook time: 20 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    1 egg, beaten
    •    2 tbsps plain flour
    •    400g lean pork mince
    •    85g fresh white breadcrumbs
    •    1 tbsp each olive oil and butter
    •    1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
    •    400ml hot beef stock (from a cube is fine)
    •    1 tbsp finely chopped dill, plus extra to serve

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the mince with the egg, onion, breadcrumbs, dill and seasoning. Form into small meatballs about the size of walnuts – you should get about 20.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and brown the meatballs. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Remove from pan, melt the butter, then sprinkle over the flour and stir well. Cook for 2 mins, then slowly whisk in the stock. Keep whisking until it is a thick gravy, then return the meatballs to the pan and heat through. Sprinkle with dill and serve with cranberry jelly, greens and mash.
