Wow, this is a really yummy recipe. As you can see I am eating carbs again. I just cannot take it anymore. But, my "caveman" is still holding strong. Props to him.
Swedish Meatballs
Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey burger
- 1 small red onion, grated or very finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Butter and vegetable oil for frying meatballs
Gravy:
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
While meatballs are finishing cooking in the oven... make the gravy. Deglaze the pan with 1 cup of the broth, cook for 3 minutes. Scrape the bottom with a spatula. Strain the broth and put it in a new sauce pan, bring to a boil with the other cup of broth. Mix flour with a bit of cold water to prevent clumping. Mix in flour with a whisk and let it return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Lastly, add cream, salt and pepper and cook for an addition minute. You may have to add extra flour to bring it to the right consistency. Pour gravy over meatballs.
Serve atop pasta or rice.
I can't say I have ever had swedish meatballs. I will have to try this out!

ReplyDeleteI've come to despise the "What's for dinner?" question. The big problem here is that we are doing Weight Watchers and I am so tired of finding recipes that no one here will eat! I think I could get lost in your blog! It's wonderful :)
