The meatball comes in many shapes and sizes, but with one rule: Make it tasty! 😋
Here's a recipe for you 👇
Meatballs:🌱 )
Brown gravy:
🥣 Preparation:1️⃣ Finely dice the onion and sauté gently in a little butter without browning. Soak the breadcrumbs in milk. Blend the ground meat, preferably in a food processor, with the onion, egg, milk–breadcrumb mixture and the spices to the proper consistency and taste. Add a little water if the mixture feels too firm.
2️⃣ Check the taste by test-frying one meatball. Then shape small meatballs with the aid of two spoons and place on water-rinsed plates.
3️⃣ Brown a generous pat of butter in a frying pan, and when it ‘goes quiet’ place the meatballs in the pan and let them brown on all sides. Shake the frying pan often.
4️⃣ For the gravy, melt the butter in a pan. Stir in the flour. Add the stock little by little, while stirring. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3–5 minutes. Add cream and flavour with soy, pepper and the optional apple sauce or jelly.
5️⃣ Serve with mashed or boiled potatoes, pickled cucumber and raw stirred lingonberries. Enjoy! 😋
