How To Make Swedish Meatballs with Emma Bengtsson

Two years to the day since this was first posted, just before the stuff hit the fan and Aquavit NYC is still keeping on. Chef Bengtsson keeps it strong and authentic, at least according to Scando-Americans. They provide such a wonderful culinary experience. Amazing fare to be had if you can't make it to Stockholm.

[@MO-tf3te]

This recipe is bomb! Followed it without making any changes and it was great. It does take time but it’s totally worth it.

[@jeanku]

Just by the amount of butter she used, I know for a fact that I will fucking love her cooking.

[@michelle76678]

So true it looks yummy

[@ylenia7834]

I’m telling IKEA.

[@preciousgemini3578]

😂 I was thinking the same

[@anyang88]

was just about to go and buy a bag there lol

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

Please do. They're ruining the image of Swedish meatballs. I mean, IKEA's are more like the Chinese you find in soups and stuff. Bouncy. Uniform in texture. Not a single spice right.

[@Nemoticon]

Don't forget to remind them.... NO HORSE MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rontsang4308]

I still can't get over the almost 1:1 ratio of butter to potato, wow! As they say butter makes everything taste better.

Really traditional. I usually make mine a lot smaller though. The fancier the occasion the smaller the balls get :P

[@Warlundrie]

The only thing I'd do differently is put a little bit more cream into the breadcrumbs and not use panko but breadcrumbs from stale bread at home, feels more traditional and home for me, but this recipe is still awesome! Big love from Sweden!

[@iamLODD]

Warlundrie how do u usually make your breadcrumbs from stale bread?

[@Warlundrie]

@@iamLODD put them into a food processor and blitz. you'd have to make sure the bread is dried ofc but that's not very hard :)

[@iamLODD]

Warlundrie thank you :)

[@nathanlambshead4778]

@@Warlundrie I find that if I do not have any stale bread, I cut up fresh bread into cubes and make croutons in the oven, Then if I need crumbs, just blitz some croutons. Always nice to make your own.

its not legit tho. She uses mustard and cream in the meatballs. Which is completely unnecessary since you put that in the brown sauce

I learned to mash potatoes from my Norwegian grandmother. I make them like you do. I always use Kerrygold butter

[@Beunibster]

we use Arla Svenskt Smör

[@nivity]

Moms Swedish meatballs are still the best. (Same way her mother made them ) Finely grated onion and potato (boiled before) instead of breadcrumbs. Much better flavor. (Other parts are the same, some heavy cream, salt, pepper, and a mix of ground beef and pork), or you can use all pork which makes them super moist (and more unhealthy but still ;>) Being Swedish I tried most ways to make meatballs but this is still the ones I like the most

[@soilgrasswaterair]

Jimmie it’s probably the best ones also because you had them as a little boy so the affection plays into it. 🙂

I fell in love with lingonberries when I went to Malmö, and was very disappointed when I came home and could only buy them from one place, and they were shite.

[@hurrdurrimaburr]

Just buy regular frozen lingonberries. And add some sugar while they thaw. That results in the Rårörda lingon we serve with the meatballs.

[@Udontkno7]

Can't find lingons in Florida, can cranberries work?

The potato Ricer is the way to go! You can make these even better by using cream instead of milk and also by heating the cream and butter before incorporating them into the potatoes imo 😋

She forgot the onions, and that's too much mustard. Not at all traditional. And that's not mashed potatoes.

[@BenRangel]

important: SWEET pickles! Not the salty ones or polish dill pickles. But pickles aren’t 100% essential. lingonberries is though. Sometimes when I’m lazy and want meatballs fast I just do premade meatballs, put on butter, make a sloppy pan sauce, stomp potatoes in butter if I can’t be arsed to mash em properly, and lingonberry jam from a squeeze bottle or jar.

[@swedishmetalbear]

She says that the pork has more fat. But it is actually the exact opposite. Pork meat itself is very lean. Especially if you cut away the fat. In beef, the fat is marbled throughout the flesh. So you add the beef for fat and which is the reason you can make 100% beef meatballs no problem... And you add the pork for more flavour. Unless you specifically add pork lard to make it fatter.

Cook the meatballs all the way through, no rare center, if you´ve store bought minced meat.

She specified "pink" center, not red. As long as the center of ground meat is raised to 65°C/149°F for at least 90 seconds, all pathogens will be destroyed.
