Swedish Meatballs
2 cups |
fine bread crumbs |
2 lb. |
finely ground beef |
1 lb. |
finely ground pork |
1 lb. |
finely ground veal |
8 |
egg yolks, beaten |
4 teaspoons |
salt |
1/2 teaspoon |
allspice |
1 cup |
heavy cream |
1 cup |
milk, or more if needed |
8 tablespoons |
onion, finely minced |
1/2 teaspoons |
black pepper |
12 tablespoons |
vegetable oil |
Steps:
- Soak bread crumbs in warm cream.
- Meats should be ground together three times and mixed well with breadcrumbs and cream mixture
- Add milk, egg yolks, onion and seasonings. Refrigerate overnight.
- Form into small balls, 3/4” in diameter. Brown all sides in hot oil in a fry pan.
Note: Because of stricter food handling laws most butchers cannot mix meats in their grinders. At home, you can either use a counter or machine meat grinder. If using a food processor be careful not to mince meat: using already ground meat mixture it will only take 4 or 5, 1-2 second pulses to get the meat to a proper texture and mixture.
