Ingredients
Regarding Swedish meatballs:
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil made from olives, or more as required
- nutmeg, half a teaspoon
- a half-teaspoon of spices, ground
- Black pepper, ground, to taste
- 0.5 teaspoons of salt
- 14 cup whole milk
- 30 grams of rusk
- One big egg
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- One small onion, grated on the grater's side.
- 1 pound of pork mince
- 1 lb. of lean beef (10 percent -15 percent fat)
Making the gravy sauce:
- pepper and salt as desired
- 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons of regular flour
- 1 cup heavy cream for whipping
- standard beef broth, 3 cups
- Unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons
Instructions
Creating meatballs:
- Panko crumbs and milk are combined in a bowl. Mix well after adding the remaining ingredients to the meatballs. 24 meatballs should be formed.
- Over medium heat, add two teaspoons of oil to a big skillet. When the pan is heated, cook the meatballs in two batches, tossing occasionally, until they are thoroughly cooked (6-7 minutes). As needed, add additional oil. Remove from skillet and keep warm under a lid.
How to create gravy sauce:
- Melt the butter in the identical skillet. Add the flour and stir, then heat until golden.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and then include the broth, heavy cream, and Dijon. Let the sauce thicken on low heat for a while.
- Add the meatballs once more, then whisk in the gravy. Cook the meatballs until they are well cooked.
These look amazing! Could you bake the meatballs like the ones used in your spaghetti recipe?
Can yellow mustard be used instead of dijon? Will low fat milk make a difference in the meat mixture?
This is comfort food at its best! The meatballs are moist and flavorful.
I have a question. I made a large bunch of meatballs, cooked them and froze. The recipe I used was very similar to yours except for the nutmeg and allspice addition. Should I put these spices in the sauce since they are not in the cooked meatballs? Thank you for your help. Love all your recipes! Deb
I will make this next week!
I’ve never made Swedish meatballs before so I have questions.
Would you add Worcestershire sauce to the gravy (1 Tbsp)?
I’ve seen recipes that use sour cream instead of heavy cream.
Why use one over the other, in your opinion?
I have made Gymonset’s recipe for “Swedish Meatballs” and I must say it turned out delicious. The difference between Natasha’s recipe and others I have tried do not have the mixed spice and nutmeg which makes the dish so flavoursome. So it is Gymonset’s recipe for “Swedish Meatballs” from now on. Thank you Gymonset.
Can beef stock be used instead of beef broth?
Delicious! Kids loved it. Apparently the sauce was cheesy
… But no cheese was added. Thanks and will definitely make again!
I know chiefs work hard on perfecting their recipes, so no dis respect. We do not eat pork. My husband thinks ground chicken would not be a good replacement and we’re not sure about the veal ‘taste’. What other meat would you recommend in place of ‘porky”?
So I am also not a big eater of pork or beef for that matter. I make mine mixed with chicken and turkey and its bomb also very juicy and delish. Hope this helps.
wow tellement bon j avait pas de panco j ai pris du pain tramper dans le lait et tellement bon merci pour vos tres bonnes recettes
I don’t have all spice – or the ingredients to make it. Is there a substitute or can it just be omitted?
OMGG I so loved this recipe!! I made this in combination with your creamy mashed potatoes and it was so good, definitely going to make again! (there were also leftovers for the next day and still tasted quite good so I’m very pleased:) )
Thanks for sharing. My family loved it. If they know that I am making a new recipe from Gymonset’s website; they can’t wait to try it.
I made this for dinner today and it’s good, my husband love it and his Aunt too. Thanks 😋😋
