Swedish Meatballs | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@alexanderbergman2059]

Swede here. Nice take on our beloved meatballs. We usually soak the breadcrumbs in milk or cream or a mix of the two which makes the texture and taste amazing. If you can get a hold of lingonberries, you definitely need to try it. Also, we typically do them at least half the size of the ones in the video. Chef Jean-Pierre you are a gem

[@colekter5940]

Amazon has the lingonberries. Thx for the tips from your local experience!

[@UltimateExitFormula]

Lingonberries are known as Partidgeberries in Atlantic Canada, where they grow as well. (We also have Cloudberries, but they are known as Bakeapples locally.)

My grandma came from Smaland Sweden. Her meatballs were made with pork, beef, onions, eggs, salt and pepper, dried bread crumbs soaked in cream, and a bit of nutmeg. Then browned. Using the leftover grease, she made a cream sauce that was poured over the meatballs..😊. Must be regional differences! Can't wait to try chefs amazing version!!!

You remind me so much of my grandfather. The Mannerisms, and the way you explain things are very similar. He had a little family owned restaurant, and there was never a set menu. When you walked in, you sat wherever, and he'd yell over the counter what he made for the day lol. It was delicious home cooked meals. He had a huge garden so all the fruits and veggies were from there. He always told me you don't need to measure if you cook with your heart.

The wikipedia article on lingonberries is fascinating. The berries are traditionally used for many different things by different peoples around the north polar region. The plant tolerates extreme cold. "The Western Canadian Inuit use the minus subspecies as a tobacco additive or substitute" -- they smoke it! The lingonberry is related to the cranberry why not use cranberries instead. Great recipe, Chef!

Awesome comment! Thanks for the lesson! Two desserts for you!😊

I'm from the southern USA. My mother, my aunt's, and their friends all made swedish meatballs the same way. They put grape jam in it. Those meatballs were really sweet but delicious. I think they all passed around the same recipe. Swedish meatballs is a very popular party food.

[@kristinalindstrom8459]

Swedish traditional chef here! This is a great recipe, although not a traditional Swedish meatball. Traditionally you don't use the cayenne, Worcester sauce, garlic, parsley, all spice, and you use raw onion while making it. You make them a lot smaller, so that while you fry them the onion get's cooked enough during the process. We put the breadcrumbs in milk for about 5 minutes before mixing it in. After rolling the balls we put them in a refrigerator to chill before we fry them "low and slow", so that they cook all the way through in the pan without needing to put it in the oven. And the lingonberry jam was a pretty "modern" touch, but traditionally you serve them with "rårörda lingon" (raw stirred lingonberries would be the direct translation of that), which is to freeze the lingonberries, take them out, add on sugar while you mix them around with a spoon in a bowl, just enough to stick and coat the frozen berries, and then you leave them out in a warm place (not a hot one, they aren't supposed to "cook", just thaw out slowly), and while they're thawing, the liquid that gets released from the lingonberries combines with the sugar and you get a moderately sweet compot that you add to your mashed potatoes, and although it may seem like it's a bit "liquedy", that's how they are supposed to be. The gravy is completely different, but some of the corner stones are there, and the consistency is pretty much spot on. Traditionally you don't put the meatballs in the gravy before serving it (that's just how they do at IKEA or at school for small children), you just pour it on top after placing the meatballs. And the greens that are supposed to be served is thinly sliced pickled cucumbers (maybe 5-7 stacked paper sheets thick). This seems like a great recipe for meatballs and gravy, which is inspired by swedish meatballs, and for someone who hasn't had traditional swedish meatballs to guess their way through it, or modifies it using logical assumptions while creating great flavors, this is quite well made, and the whole process made me smile along as he cooked. This can be classified as a nontraditional take on the Swedish meatball, and I'm happy that it even made it on this channel. I really enjoy Chef Jean-Pierre's videos, and ever since I found this chanel I watch a video or two while on my break because of how great his content is 😃 I am by no means criticizing this video or him as a chef with this comment, I just wanted to share how this dish is done traditionally for those who are interested 🙂

[@markcummings6856]

Thank you.

[@ukrandr]

I question the use of pork in the "Turkish" recipe. Think about it. I did make Swedish meatballs once from a reputable cookbook and they were fantastic, though probably not traditional.

[@whiderboss]

Using cooked onion is fairly common, and using allspice is common when making the Christmas variant

[@barbaras8562]

Is allspice used in traditional recipe?

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@njuham]

Allspice is the key. In the olden days in Sweden pepper was expensive, people used allspice instead and that gives the tradional flavour.

[@dagobertkrikelin1587]

My mother made bolognese sauce with allspice and I continue the tradition.

[@hassebarrefors1612]

Love the way you make our meatballs your own, most of us swedes have our own recipes a little different from yours. Also love the way you use cranberry sauce in lieu of lingonberry jam. During a stay in the West Indies I made traditional Swedish pickled herring with flying fish, in lieu of herring. However, to the best of my knowledge it was the dolmas, minced meat wrapped in cauliflower leaves (originally vine leaves) not the meatballs, that came from Turkey. Meatballs more probably came of the small homestead that had maybe a horse as a drought animal, a cow for milk and a pig for pork. Once the pig is slaughtered in mid winter you had to use various techniques to make the most of every scrap and make that meat last until spring. A lot was salted which is partly what we make Christmas ham from, bake until cooked and then grill with a covering of mustard mixed with lightly whipped egg and bread crumbs. A lot of the scraps of meat was probably used to make the “prototype” of what became the modern meatball.

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

After making these for 40 years I have one thing to add, when you're all done making the mix, take a tablespoon and microwave it and TASTE IT! You might need a few grains more salt or pepper, or allspice or nutmeg. I like mine quite strongly flavored with those spices. You want that whole pan to be perfect!

[@sibyl333]

Or fry up a sample? I dislike microwaves..

[@karrisilantera9810]

Here in Finland, next to our great neighbor Sweden, we do meatballs half of your diameter. We also fry them in butter - not in oil.

[@pamelahawn9300]

I live in the heart of the Swede, Norweigian, and Danish settlements in MN. I have been to many church suppers and potlucks. I have had many plates by different cooks. Alspice is the main thing that gives them the swedish flavor. meatballs. I have never seen tomatoes in the gravy here. It is a combination of the scraps in the skillet with sour cream added first in low heat. Toward the end, pure thick cream is added and heated slightly. ( so it dont curdle.) Camelized onions are fried in " BUTTER" in MN/ND we love dairy products!

Swedish meatballs are a core memory for me. I remember mom making them for a party. I was not supposed to come downstairs during these get togethers, but I always snuck down to grab a few that she kept in a chafing dish. Nothing like the Chef's quality, but they were delicious to me!

[@lesilluminations1]

This was the second easiest Chef JP dish I have tried so far. It was especially delicious because I got a chance to use my JP homemade beef stock for the first time. The stock took it to the next level. By the way, Chef, most Ikea outlets sell lingonberry jam on the premises. I didn't have any but used black current jam instead. In fact, I got creative and stirred in a good dollop of the black current jam into the sauce. Gave it a tiny hint of fruity sweetness which was really nice.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

That's a great idea using black current jam! Sounds delicious!😋

[@DanielSjostrom]

Spot on, in Sweden we almost always have a bit of jam/jelly in the sauce :)

[@triciaforsting3648]

Thank you very much for your tutorial. I’m putting this on my to do list ❤️❤️

[@RoXx1811]

Amazing as usual chef! As a tip: You can put the cream on the breadcrumbs and let them soak for like 30min. Makes it really easy to incorperate it into the ground beef. I've seen a swedish chef do this and it works wonderfully :)

[@alexanderlabrea]

Yes, that is a very good tip :) As a swede myself I'm okay with putting personal twists on it, but soaking the breadcrumbs in a fair amount of milk or cream is crucial for really good Swedish meatballs. They'll be jucier and more tender. The mixture should be way "wetter" than in the video. And the sauce should be made in the pan, not separately, but I don't doubt it was very delicious :)

[@TheCorstinSephari]

@@alexanderlabrea Could you soak them in buttermilk instead of cream for a bit more of a tang? O.O

[@alexanderlabrea]

@@TheCorstinSephari Probably! Buttermilk is not really a ”thing” here in Sweden so I’ve never heard anyone try it. But give it a go and let us know how it ended up!

I haven't made the meatballs yet, but the sauce is a serious "Go to". I've put it on steaks, on rissoles, on plain meatballs and it's bloody delicious. The first time I made it my wife literally licked the plate clean. It worked even when stupid me forgot the cream. Chef I can't thank you enough for this marvellous sauce.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏❤️

[@Starwars83]

Delicious! As a Swede I feel the lingonberry is kinda what "makes" this dish in a way (we sometimes mix it into the actual sauce as well) but I'm sure different berries would work well too. But yeah, lingonberry is definitely used for a few traditional Swedish dishes. If you're interested in more Swedish dishes, maybe you should make a semla! It's around that time of year now when we eat it. :)

I'm a Swede living in the USA, Ikea sell Lingonberry sauce (and a lot of upscale grocery stores so I assume you could actually find it in FL also. There is of course a lot of different Swedish Meatball recipes. Only thing on what you did that absolutely is not traditional would be that you had garlic and cayenne except for that you are close. We also normally make them a bit smaller then what you did.

[@markuslappalainen6847]

Here in finland we make meatballs quite same way than in sweden. Mashed potatoes have lots of milk and butter in them. Lingonberries are mostly used as side but not always jammed but only with sugar. Cranberry harvest is much smaller but unlike other berries they can be picked even in october when they are frozen or in spring when snow is melting.

[@Kuklapolitan]

I LOVE Swedish Meatballs and this is the recipe I've been looking for for many years. I think what made it Swedish was the Lingonberry Jelly...because no one ever knew what that was...LOL! Sauteing the onion before adding it to the meats gives it a beautifully mild flavor...Thanks Chef J-P!

Get a spice rack ready. I built 7 more shelves in the pantry so you can get the spices you will eventually need. LaValle Italian Tomato goods is all he uses. If you brand H or Kr, you won't be happy. Just a suggestion. I have learned so much from him. My family is shocked at what I serve them. No complainers are now at the table. Sometimes, I make a big mistake and have to start all over.

as a Swede, I agree with you, those are Greek meatballs. garlic etc. was not as common as today. the classic Swedish recipe. milk/cream, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced meat, onion, salt and pepper, possibly a little sugar. 60-70 years ago, there weren't as many exotic spices in households as we have today.

😂 As we drift back to elementary school. I was laughing every time those words were spoken. 😂😂😂

I cracked up too when Chef began to talk about replacing his nut.

Chef Jean, I love you and you made me follow in love with butter. John Kato from Uganda. Thanks and am learning a lot from you.

I make some killer Swedish meatballs, but I also recognize I can always learn more from the greats! I look forward to using some of your techniques to up my game!

I know, me too, but I'm going to use buttermilk next time instead of regular milk.

Love watching you So humourus! Will try those meatballs!

Just pointing out something that Chef does instinctively that he doesn't talk about because he's consciously unaware that he's doing it. Cooking isn't a formula.. You need to taste and adjust; smell and adjust; touch and adjust; and see and adjust. Chef adjusts continuously throughout his videos. He saw that some of the meatballs were too browned, he diagnosed why, and he made the proper adjustments (lowered the heat and centered the pan over the flame). That comes from experience, not a book. It's also why cooking is fun. It's challenging, not mindless, and you get better with each dish you make.
