Swedish Meatballs
- 1 whole Onion, Cleaned And Cut Into Quarters
- 23 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Cream
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon High Quality Whole Grain Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 dash Lawry's Seasoned Salt
- 2 teaspoons Salt And Pepper
- 2 pounds Mincemeat (30% Pork And 70% Beef)
- Olive Oil Or Butter, For Your Frying Pan
- Put everything except for the mincemeat in a blender and blend until smoothyou dont want any onion bits left.
- Add in the mincemeat and blend well.
- Put a frying pan on high heat.
- Make a small patty out of a little of the meat mixture and fry it until its done.
- Taste and see if it needs more seasoning.
- If so, add more seasoning to taste.
- Wet your hands with cold water so the mincemeat doesnt stick to your hands.
- If you are going to set your meatballs on a wooden cutting board, wet that too.
- If youre going to set them on a plastic cutting board or a plate then you dont need to wet it.
- Start rolling the meatballs to your preferred size.
- I tend to prefer a meatball that, when cut in half, is bite sized.
- You shouldnt look like youve devoured a turkey... Come to think of it, this may go for any food actually... Set the completed meatballs on your work surface and continue until youve used all of your meat mixture.
- Put some olive oil or butter into a hot frying pan.
- Place about half of the meatballs into it.
- Let them fry for a minute and then turn them.
- I do this with a spoon and a fork.
- Once youve turned over the meatballs, turn down the temperature to half (medium) and put a lid over the pan.
- This will ensure that the meatballs dont burn on the outside and stay raw on the inside.
- Continue to cook for a few minutes, until juices run clear.
- You can cut one of the meatballs in half to determine this.
- Remove the completed meatballs from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining meatballs.
- Then you are ready to serve.
- Note: Feel free to add parsely or any other herb into your meatball mixture.
- For Christmas I added cloves which gave a lovely Christmas flavour to them.
