Köttbullar

Savor the comforting taste of Swedish köttbullar, tender meatballs infused with onion and spices, served with creamy gravy. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a festive gathering with friends and family.

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 small onion
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, bread crumbs, milk, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

2. 2

   Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

3. 3

   Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

4. 4

   Fry the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

5. 5

   Remove the meatballs from the skillet and keep warm. If desired, you can make a simple gravy in the same pan using the drippings.

6. 6

   Serve the köttbullar hot, traditionally with mashed potatoes, lingonberry sauce, and pickled cucumbers.
