köttbulle svenska (swedish meatballs)
(1 RATING)
Bork bork bork! (Just kidding!) These Swedish meatballs do have more of an American twist on them, as they are served submerged in white gravy as opposed to sided with brown gravy, but they are no less utsökt! NOTE: I've always served my köttbulle with egg noodles, but authentically they are usually served with potatoes, and the meatballs are separate from the gravy on the plate. This recipe, I feel, is much better on top of the noodles!

Step 4Heat half of the remaining butter with half of the oil in the previously used frying pan and fry the meatballs in batches, until they are golden brown in color. Remove the meatballs and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 5Heat up the remaining butter and oil in a sauce pan and add the flour, cooking over a low heat and stirring constantly until the flour is golden and sandy in appearance.

Step 6Take the pan off the heat and gradually add the beef stock, stirring and blending well after each addition. Put the pan back on the heat and bring to a boil. then add the sour cream. Turn the heat back down and add the meatballs, cover and cook over a low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
