SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH LINGONBERRY OR CRANBERRY SAUCE
Swedish meatballs must be the most famous "export" recipe from this fascinating country. I like to think that these are a little bit different, and more authentic than most recipes you see. This is REAL Swedish home cooking at its best - and if you can manage to get hold of Lingonberries, you will notice a wonderful & very subtle difference; however, cranberries will do just as well. These meatballs are perfect served with piles of mashed potatoes or broad ribbon pasta.

Steps:
- To make the sauce, put the lingonberries or cranberries into a heavy bottomed saucepan with about 100 to 120 mls of water, the lemon juice and zest & bring to the boil.
- Then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. As soon as the berries have started to burst - add the caster sugar and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved. Take off the heat and allow to cool. Check for sweetness, if it is too sour, add more sugar to taste and cook until dissolved.
- To make the meatballs, first melt a little of the butter in a frying pan and add the finely chopped onion - sauté until soft & then add the allspice.
- Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk - until the milk has been absorbed, about 30 to 45 minutes. Mix the fried onion in with the soaked bread and then add the meat and beaten egg, season and mix well.
- Dampen your hands and form the mixture into balls about the size of large walnuts.
- Heat half of the remaining butter with half of the oil and fry the meatballs in batches - until they are golden brown in colour and hold their shape.
- Allow to meatballs to cool slightly.
- Heat up the remaining butter and oil in the pan and add the flour - cooking over a low heat until the flour is golden and sandy in appearance (like a roux base).
- Take the pan off the heat and gradually add the beef stock, stirring and blending well after each addition. Put the pan back on the heat and bring to the boil - then add the sour cream (creme fraiche). Turn the heat down and add the meatballs - cover and cook over a low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Check and adjust the seasoning before adding the chopped dill to the meatball and sauce mixture.
- Serve with the Lingonberry or Cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes or broad ribbon noodles.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH LINGONBERRY SAUCE
To serve as an Hors d'Oeuvre, don't make this gravy, but buy a jar or two of Lingonberry sauce from your favorite market or an Ikea store. The tart-sweetness of the sauce plays perfect counterpoint to the tender savory meatballs. Or make the mock Lingon with cranberry sauce recipe below.

Steps:
- Soak the bread crumbs in the half-and-half in a large mixing bowl until softened, for about 10 minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the foam starts to subside, add the onions and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Add the beef, veal, pork, and onion-garlic mixture to the bread-crumb mixture and gently mix with your impeccably clean hands. Add the eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and again gently combine everything with your impeccably clean hands.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for a couple of hours.
- Shape the mixture into uniform 2/3-inch balls, wetting your hands with water so the meat won't stick to them. Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet in one layer so they do not touch each other. Let the meatballs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Melt the remaining butter in a sauté pan or skillet over moderate heat. When the foam starts to subside, add the meatballs without crowding them in the pan; you will have to cook the meatballs in batches. Sauté the meatballs for about 5 minutes until they are well-browned on all sides. Turn them gently as they sauté. Reserve the cooked meatballs on a platter and continue to cook the remaining ones until done.
- After the last meatballs have been removed from the saute pan, add Bovril and flour. Stir until well blended, add stock or water and pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add sour cream-flour mixture into the sauce, one tablespoon at a time - stirring until thoroughly blended after each addition. Return meatballs to gravy, cover, and simmer very gently 10 minutes.
- PRESENTATION SUGGESTIONS:.
- As an hors d'Oeuvre, serve sprinkled with minced parsley and without the gravy from a shallow casserole, with a dish of Lingonberry sauce on the side. Serve with plenty of cocktail picks.
- You can also serve these meatballs, with their gravy, over buttered broad noodles as a main course. Yum. Garnish these dinner plates with a dollop of Lingonberry Sauce atop the meatballs.
- FOR THE MOCK LINGON SAUCE:.
- Place all ingredients in saucepan. Simmer 15 minute Remove cinnamon. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Remove the onion to a plate and cool. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meats, egg yolks, heavy cream and onion. Add salt, pepper and allspice. Squeeze excess milk from the bread and add it to the bowl. Mix gently with your hands or wooden spoon.
- With a bowl of cold water standing by, form meatballs about 1-inch across. Dip your fingers in cold water, from time to time, to keep the meat from sticking to your hands.
- Melt the remaining butter in the saute pan and once the foam has subsided add a layer of meatballs. Do not overcrowd the pan. Shake the pan once in awhile, to keep the meatballs round. Brown all of the meatballs, in batches, removing them to a large oven safe dish when cooked. Put the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, being careful not to overcook them.
- To make the sauce: Pour off most of the fat from the skillet and return it to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl it around to coat the pan. Sprinkle in the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon or whisk to dissolve the flour into the fat. Pour in the chicken stock, and stir to loosen the bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring, until the liquid is reduced and the mixture starts to thicken to a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lower the heat and stir in the cream and the black currant jam. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and the meatballs are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- To serve, spoon a couple of meatballs onto each plate along with a spoonful of sauce, and serve with the lingonberry jam on the side.
ALMOST-FAMOUS SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Some people drive for hours to get to an Ikea store, and we know they aren't making the trek just for the $9.99 chairs. They're going for the Swedish meatballs. The dish has been a main attraction at Ikea Restaurants since an in-store chef developed the recipe in Switzerland in 1985. Although Ikea's Real Swedish Food Book, published in 2000, included a meatball recipe, reps confirmed that it is not the one served at their restaurants. Ikea is keeping that baby a secret, so chefs in Food Network Kitchens hit a nearby store for a tasting, then created this spot-on copy.

Steps:
- Make the meatballs: Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Pour the milk mixture over the breadcrumbs and stir to make a thick paste; let cool. Add the beef, pork, egg and egg white to the bowl and mix until combined.
- Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Roll the meat into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the meatballs until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Make the gravy: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth. Whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; sprinkle with the parsley and serve with lingonberry jam, if desired.

BAKED SWEDISH MEATBALLS (TYLER FLORENCE)
I made these last week and loved their juicy texture. Despite the involved directions, I added a few timesavers and didn't find them any more difficult than regular meatballs (mixed in my Kitchen Aid). They freeze great. I put leftover frozen ones in crockpot with jarred gravy and cream of mushroom soup. Note: I've never made the lingonberry sauce but mix a can of cream of Mushroom soup with a half can milk for a creamy sauce.
