Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients:

Meatballs

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 Yellow onion
  • 1 pound Ground beef
  • 1 pound Ground Pork
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 Large egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

Gravy

  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • 4 cups Beef or Chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup Sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves

Cooking Method:

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, egg yolks, nutmeg and cooked onion; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into meatballs.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

To make the gravy, melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Stir in meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated
through and thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
