I made egg noodles, stuffed mushrooms and Swedish meatballs for dinner tonight.




MY FAVORITE SWEDISH MEATBALLS 6 servings From Sandra  Nov. 2018

1/3C bread crumbs
1/2 C. whole milk
1 egg
2 tbs. flat leaf parsley
2 cl. garlic, minced
1/4 tsp 
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbs. lemon zest
1/2 med. onion, fine chop
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. gr. beef
1/2 lb. gr pork
1 Tbs. olive oil
5 Tbs. butter
1/4 C. AP . Flour
2 C. beef broth
1 C. heavy cream
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce.
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

  1. combine and mix breadcrumbs, milk, egg, parsley, garlic, spices and lemon zest. let set 10 min. or until all of the milk has been absorbed by the  bread crumbs.  Add onion, beef, pot, salt and pepper; mix. Shape into 16-18 largish meatballs.
  2. Melt butter and oil, add meatballs, brown on all sides and cook through.  Remove with slotted spoon and set aside
3. With the pan still over medium-heat, whisk in the remaining butter and flour, and cook until the mixture is bubbling away and browned, 1 – 2 minutes (like you’re making a roux). In a slow and steady stream, whisk in the beef broth and cream, then add the Worcestershire and mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook until thickened and glorious, about 4 – 5 minutes. Add the meatballs back to the skillet and cook another 1 – 2 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favourite greens (or over egg noodles, if you’re into it). Delicious!
