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 chil
drens
favourite.
Ingredients
* 500 grammes (1 lb) ground beef
* 1 small onion
* 1 egg
* 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
* vegetable oil (for frying)
* salt, pepper
Proceed as follows -
1. Finely grate or chop the onion.
2. Mix the ground beef, the onion, the egg and the bread crumbs. Add some white
pepper and salt to taste.
3. 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 until browned on all sides and cooked
through (approximately ten minutes).
