ULRIKA'S MOTHER'S MEATBALLS WITH RED BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Mix the potato, bread crumbs, onion, milk, and allspice with the spices and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the meat, season with salt and pepper, and mix until incorporated. Make a small meatball out of the meat mixture, fry it in a little butter, and taste. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Roll the meat mixture into 1/2-inch round meatballs and place them on a wet plate. In a large skillet, fry them in butter until golden brown.
• To serve, spread some of the relish on the slice of bread and top with the meatballs. Serve at room temperature.
• In a food processor, combine the beets, apple, vinegar and sugar and pulse until the apples and beets are finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and combine with the mayonnaise and allspice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

THE BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH BEETROOT & APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• To make the meatballs, tip the pork into a bowl and add the grated courgette and onion, half the dill, half the garlic and plenty of black pepper. Break in the egg and mix well with your hands. When everything is well combined, break off walnut-size pieces and roll into balls - you should end up with about 28. The mixture will be very soft.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan then gently fry the meatballs in two batches until firm and pale golden, turning them every now and then so they brown evenly. Each batch should take 6-8 mins.
• Wipe out the pan to remove excess fat and add the remaining garlic and thyme, then pour in the bouillon and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat, stir in the crème fraîche and remaining dill, then return the meatballs to the pan and turn them in the mixture until coated.
• For the salad, mix the apple, onion, parsley and capers with the lemon, then stir through the beetroot. Serve the salad alongside the meatballs. If you're cooking for two people, eat half the meatballs and salad now, and chill the rest for another day - it will keep in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat the meatballs in the microwave until piping hot.
