Henry Fonda’s Swedish Meatballs
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 lb ground pork
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1/2 tsp ground allspice
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp butter
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
– Lingonberry sauce, for serving
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until well combined.
2. Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 7-10 minutes per batch. Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a plate and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer in the gravy for about 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the Swedish meatballs hot with lingonberry sauce drizzled on top and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
