Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 250 g ground pork
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
  2. Add ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and allspice to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Gradually whisk in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and return the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  8. Serve the Köttbullar with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. Enjoy!
