How to make the Swedish Meatballs
- Mix breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl. Allow it to stand for at least 10 minutes to swell. Add salt and add the ground meat and mix thoroughly. Add the pepper, egg and onion and stir to mix thoroughly. (Do not mix too long because then the mixture gets to thick)
- Take out a cutting board and rinse it with water and put it on the workbench. Roll the ground meat with your hands into round balls and place them on the cutting board. Rinse your hands well in water occasionally, then the meatballs gets round and sweet.
- Turn on the frying pan, add butter and let the butter get light brown in the pan. Add some of the meatballs, no more than that they have room to roll around when you shake the pan. Shake the pan occasionally so that they get a frying surface all around. When the meatballs got a browning lower the heat and cook for 3-5 minutes (without a lid). The time depends on the size of the meatball. Place the meatballs on a platter. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the meatballs. Serve meatballs with a sauce and with boiled potatoes, steamed broccoli and lingonberry jam. That's how the true Swede eats them! Enjoy or as we say in Sweden, Hoppas det smakar!
