Swedish Meatballs With Cream Sauce Recipes

SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine both ground pork and beef, breadcrumbs soaked in beef stock or milk if using, finely grated onion, 1 beaten egg, allspice, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. (To test the balance of spices and seasoning pinch off a small amount of the mixture and fry for a taste test.) Adjust seasoning if needed.
• Shape the meatballs by rolling them in your hands. You should get approximately 25 golf ball sized meatballs. Brown the meatballs in 1 tbsp of vegetable oil on high heat until nicely brown on the outside but not cooked all the way through. Remove to a large bowl.
• To the same pan add 1 tbsp of butter and saute the onion over low heat for 5 minutes, then add the flour and mix it in the melted butter to form a paste, continue cooking for a 1-2 minutes until it smells slightly nutty. Add the beef stock while stirring to prevent lumps, then add single cream or cream alternative (see recipe notes), Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste, bring the sauce to a boil.
• Add the meatballs back to the sauce and spoon the sauce over them, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir halfway through to prevent burning. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely mince the shallot. For a smoother finish you can grate the onion or use onion paste or powder.
• Combine the ground meat, onion, egg yolks, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Knead the mixture with your hands until homogeneous, 1 minute.
• With slightly damp hands take a small amount of mixture at a time and roll into meatballs. To make them all the same size I weigh mine at 15 g each.
• Set a skillet on medium-high heat and add 4 tbsp oil or butter. When hot, add the meatballs and shallow fry for a couple of minutes. Roll the meatballs over to cook the other side. After another couple minutes roll the meatballs again to cook the sides where they look raw. Shallow fry the meatballs until homogeneously cooked and slightly browned for a total time of about 10 minutes.
• When cooked, turn off the heat. Transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with kitchen paper for the time being. With the help of a spoon remove some of the cooking fat leaving about 2 tbsp in the pan. Keep the onion bits that may have escaped the meatballs as the meat shrank for extra flavour; but discard if burnt.
• Return the pan to the stove on medium heat and pour all the cream in. In a small bowl aside, mix the water and the stock concentrate, then add to the pan. Stir in the mustard and lastly add the Worchestershire sauce. Stir to combine and keep simmering on medium heat until the sauce thickens, 3-4 minutes.
• Put the meatballs back into the pan and toss to coat in the cream sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favourite veggie side.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork. Mix in all the other meatball ingredients by hand (except the olive oil) until well combined.
• Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on a clean platter, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, if possible - this helps them retain their round shape when cooking.
• In a large non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches to avoid overcrowding, add the meatballs and cook, turning continuously until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
• Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, whisk in the flour; stir to combine and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until no lumps remain and flour just begins to brown.
• Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then the heavy cream. Whisk in the soy sauce and mustard; bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for another 3 minutes to finish cooking and warm through.
• Serve over mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of parsley.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Ask the butcher to split a few marrowbones lengthwise and extract the marrow For you. Have the beef, pork and veal ground together in front of you, for unless you see it you cannot be sure that it will be free of fat.
• So that they can be chilled, prepare the meat balls at least an hour before you plan to cook them. They are less likely then to crumble and lose their shape when they are fried.
• Soak the crumbs in the four Tab. of cream for 5 minutes, then put them in a large mixing bowl with the marrow and ground meats.
• Melt the 2 T. butter in a small frying pan and in it cook the chopped onion, shallots and garlic over Moderate heat for 5 min.,or until softened and color lightly. Add them to the mixing bowl and at the same time add the grated lemon rind, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Beat the 2 eggs lightly with a fork and pour them over the meat. With a large spoon, beat this mixture vigorously until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the meat loses its granular texture. If you own an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, the beating operation will be much easier. But do not attempt to use an ordinary beater attachment; it will not work.
• Form into small balls, about an inch in diameter. The simplest and most efficient way to do this is to place a heaping teaspoon of the meat in the palm of of one hand and after moistening the other hand with cold water, roll it lightly over the meat until you have shaped it into a sphere. Do not fuss with this too much; when the balls are chilled, you can reshape them easily if you wish.
• Place the meat balls, as you finish them, on a baking sheet or platter lined with wax paper. Cover them with another sheet of waxed paper, and chill for at least an hour. For more firmly crusted meatballs, roll each lightly in flour just before frying them.
• When you are ready to cook the meatballs, melt the 3 Tab. butter and 2 Tab. oil over high heat in a large heavy frying pan. When the fat begins to sputter, lightly drop into the pan enough meat balls to cover the bottom about three quarters full. At once slide the pan back and forth over the burner so that they roll around in the hot fat; this will help them to keep their shapes and to brown evenly.
• After a couple of minutes, turn the heat down to moderate, and cook the balls 6-7 minutes longer, or until they are crisp brown all over and cooked through. Make sure by breaking one open; there should not be the slightest indication of pink in the center. With a slotted spoon, transfer the finished meatballs to a shallow casserole and continue with the remaining meatballs until they are all cooked.
• Make the sauce in the same frying pan. If the fat remaining in it is a good deep brown; pour off all but 3 Tab. of it. If, however, it is black and badly burned, scrape it all out and in its place melt 3 T. butter.
• Off the heat, with a wooden spoon, stir into the pan 2 Tab of flour and mix it to a smooth paste with the fat. Return the pan to a low heat and cook this roux slowly for a minute of so, stirring all the while. Then pour in, all at once, the cup of stock. Raise the heat to moderate and, with a wire whisk, beat this sauce together until it boils, thickens and becomes quite smooth. Then turn the heat down to the barest simmer. Still using the whisk, stir the sour cream into the sauce, about a Tab. at a time. Use more than ½ cup if you like the sauce fairly thin. At the last, add the fresh dill, lemon juice, salt to taste and cayenne. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the casserole.
• When you are ready to serve them, reheat the meatballs slowly without letting the sauce boil.
• Serve them directly from the casserole, sprinkled with a little extra fresh dill if you have it. Buttered rice, noodles or pasta of any kind go well with this.
• Note: If you are unable to get any marrow, in its place beat into the meat ball mixture 3 tab. soft butter.
