Köttbullar - Swedish Meatballs  
There are almost as many recipes for Swedish meatballs as  
there are Swedish amateur chefs. The three main types are: (1)  
small, fried, served without sauce; (2) large, fried, served in  
brown gravy; (3) medium size, boiled, served in sauce. The  
present recipe is a very simple version of type-1 meatballs, a  
children’s favourite.  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:  
1
2. Mix the ground beef, the onion, the egg and the bread  
crumbs. Add some white pepper and salt to taste.  
. Finely grate or chop the onion.

1 egg  
50-75 ml dried bread

vegetable oil (for  
frying)

. Form into 30 walnut-size meatballs.  
4. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet  
over medium heat. Sauté the meatballs in two batches

(approximately ten minutes).

salt, pepper  
The meatballs can be served alone as cocktail snacks or, as a meal, together with, e.g. mashed  
potatoes and lingonberry jam.  
For meatballs in a brown gravy, fry the meatballs in four batches. After each of the first three  
batches add 3-4 tbsp of water to the skillet, stir and pour the water into a separate vessel. After  
the fourth batch powder 1-2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the skillet, stir, add 3-4 tbsp cream,  
stir, add the water from the first three batches, stir, add some Japanese soya sauce, stir and  
bring to a slow boil, then add the fried meatballs and heat for a few minutes.
