Ikea has just shared the recipe for their famous Swedish meatballs!
The beef-and-pork meatballs are just the latest signature recipe to be shared by a big chain. Doubletree Hotels gave away their famous chocolate chip cookie recipe. And Disney showed people how to make their churros and pineapple Dole Whip.
If meat isn’t your thing, there’s a vegetarian recipe too.
Here’s the meatball (with meat) recipe:
Ingredients:
Meatballs
- 1.1 pound of beef mince
- 0.6 pound of pork mince
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic (crushed or minced)
- 3.5 ounces of breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons of whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cream Sauce
Instructions:
Meatballs
- Combine ground beef and pork and mix thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and mix. Add milk and season well with salt and pepper.
- Shape mixture into small, round balls. Place on a clean plate, cover and store in the fridge for 2 hours (to help them hold their shape while cooking).
- In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. When hot, gently add your meatballs and brown on all sides.
- When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven, 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook for a further 30 minutes.
Cream Sauce
- Melt the butter in a frying pan. Whisk in the plain flour and continue cooking, stirring continuously for 2 minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and beef stock and continue to stir. Add the thick double cream, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.
- Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Continue to stir.
- When ready to eat, serve with your favorite potatoes — either creamy mash or mini new boiled potatoes.
