Instructions:
-
Cut the insides of stale bread into small pieces and add them to the milk you have poured into a bowl, wait for 1-2 minutes and soften them.
-
Grate the onion and garlic and squeeze out the juice.
-
To prepare the Swedish meatballs, knead the onion, garlic, a pinch of finely chopped parsley, eggs, ground meat, salt, spices and the bread crumbs soaked in milk in a deep bowl for 10 minutes until they are well combined.
-
Take walnut-sized pieces from the mortar you have prepared and shape them by rolling them in your palm. Then rest the meatballs in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
-
Put the rested meatballs in the pan where you pour olive oil and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Make sure the meatballs are browned on all sides. Separate the oil in the pan in which you fry the meatballs to make sauce, do not pour it.
-
To prepare Swedish meatball sauce, melt the butter in the pan where you fried the meatballs before, add the flour and fry for about 2-3 minutes.
-
Crush the starch in half a glass of water and add to the sauce. Slowly add the broth and cook, stirring constantly.
-
Finally, cook the sauce, to which you added cream, black pepper and salt, for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.
-
Turn the bottom of the sauce you prepared and add your Swedish meatballs into it and mix it once or twice. Add a pinch of finely chopped parsley, let it rest for 5 minutes and serve your blended Swedish meatballs hot. Enjoy your meal!
