Introduction
Tender, juicy meatballs seasoned with allspice and nutmeg, seared until golden, and simmered in a luscious, velvety cream gravy. Served traditionally with creamy mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam for a classic comforting meal.
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, and 2 cracked eggs.
Step 2
Season the meat with salt, black pepper, allspice, and freshly grated nutmeg.
Step 3
Grate 1 whole onion and 1 clove of garlic using a box grater, then add them into the bowl with the meat.
Step 4
Remove the crusts from 3 slices of white sandwich bread, tear the bread into small pieces into a plate, pour 1/3 cup of milk over it, and mash together with a fork until a paste forms.
Step 5
Add the milk-soaked bread mixture into the meat bowl and mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until well blended and cohesive.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Grated onion adds essential flavor and moisture while preventing the meatballs from falling apart.
Mixing the meat by hand helps release the proteins, which assists in binding the mixture so the meatballs hold their shape while cooking.
Using an ice cream scoop ensures uniform meatball size for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan; fry meatballs in batches so they brown evenly rather than steam.
The meatballs are only browned during frying, not fully cooked through; they finish cooking through while simmering in the sauce.
Be sure to pour any juices collected on the meatball plate back into the pan for extra flavor in the gravy.
