Jim Langford asked me if I could provide a recipe for Swedish Meatballs, so I asked my mother for her secret recipe! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
I'll do my best to translate the ingredients to English, but don't hesitate to ask me if anything is unclear or doesn't make any sense:
400 g ground meat (50% beef, 50% pork)
3 slices of fresh, white, bread ("French bread")
1.5 dl standard milk (3% fat)
1 egg
0.5 chopped onion (very small pieces)
salt
pepper
1 tsp flour
(2 tsp dijon mustard) (optional!)
* Mix the egg and the milk in a bowl.
* Remove the edges from the bread.
* Put the remaining bread in the bowl so it will absorb the liquid and get soft.
* Add the ground meat, the onion (and the mustard if you want to include it) to the doe.
* Add salt and pepper according to your own preferences.
* Let the doe rest for 10 minutes.
* Put water on your hands and make meat balls, about 2 cm (0.8") across.
* Use a mixture of butter and oil (1 tsp each should be sufficient) in the frying pan.
* Fry the meat balls for about 10 minutes in your frying pan, but don't fill the pan at once. Add a few meat balls at a time (or your pan will get too cold and your frying will turn into cooking).
* Check if they are ready by tasting one of them.
** You're in for a real treat! **
