Köttbullar

Taste the World - Welcome to Sweden!

When you think of Swedish cuisine, one dish immediately springs to mind: Köttbullar!

The perfect combination of savoury and slightly sweet, as is typical of many Scandinavian dishes.

Köttbullar - the classic from Sweden

The popular meatballs are an integral part of Swedish home cooking and are often found on the family table. Their special flavour is no coincidence: allspice provides the characteristic, slightly spicy note that makes Köttbullar so unmistakable. Whether as a quick dinner, for a Scandinavian themed evening or as a tribute to your last holiday in Stockholm - with our recipe, you can make authentic Köttbullar just like in the north. Simple, delicious and guaranteed to be a favourite with young and old alike!

Preparation

Step 1

First soak the breadcrumbs in the milk and then mix thoroughly with the minced meat, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic, mustard, allspice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Shape the mixture into small meatballs about 3 cm in diameter.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the Köttbullar until golden brown on all sides, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

To make the cream sauce, melt a little butter in the same pan, stir in the flour and sauté briefly. Then deglaze with the beef stock and stir in the cream, soya sauce and mustard. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes until it is nice and creamy.

Step 4

Now return the Köttbullar to the pan and leave to stand in the sauce for a further 5 minutes.

Step 5

To serve, serve the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam and fresh parsley - and enjoy!
