Swedish meatballs was my favourite dish every time I dined at IKEA Singapore. I got this recipe from an Indonesian Mixed Couple website, submitted by a lady married to a Swede and lives in Sweden. So, hopefully it is close to the real thing. In the picture, I served the meatballs with cranberry sauce and mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potato. The gravy is made from Gravox, although you can make your own if you wish to.



Ingredients:
150 ml cream
50 - 100 ml beef stock
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 1/2 tbsp breadcrumb
2 tbsp onion, chopped
500 gr ground beef
salt & pepper to taste (1-2 tsp)
butter for frying

Method:
Mix together the cream, egg and stock. Stir evenly, then add the breadcrumb and mixed again.
Add salt, pepper and onion, and then the ground beef.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls about 2 cm in diameter.
Melt the butter on a frying pan and fry the meatballs until they turn brown, then bake them in the oven at 150C for about 10-15 minutes.
Serve with steamed / mashed potato & brown gravy.

To make the gravy: add 400ml stock to the left over oil for frying, bring to a boil and stir evenly. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp of plain flour on a frying pan, then add the stock mixture. Stir evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 3-4
