Köttbullar (Swedish Meatballs, Ikea Style)

All meatballs fans out there, here is the ultimate recipe for you to try:

This is my first attempt making the Ikea Style meatballs and I must say that the result was not disappointing at all. I decided to put the meatballs in the oven rather than cook in the skillet as I prefer to use less oil and the fat in the mince beef has helped to keep them moist while grilling.  You can actually make these meatballs and the sauce at home at effortlessly and they taste almost the same like Ikea one (depends on what you put in the ingredients and mine one I add smoked chicken to give extra flavour to them)

Ingredients:

Servings:

4-6

• 4 -5 tablespoons butter
• 2 1/2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup fine breadcrumb (unseasoned)
•   1/2 cup milk, divided
• 2 cold boiled potatoes, mashed
• 400g ground beef
• 3 slices smoked chicken (dice small)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice

Directions:

Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins

1. In a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter, heating until melted and just starting to brown. Add onion to skillet, saute until onion is golden.
2. To the bread crumbs, add 2 Tbsp milk to moisten.
3. In a large bowl, combine beef, smoked chicken, egg. Add onion, mashed potatoes, and moistened breadcrumbs. Add spices (salt, pepper, allspice). Add remaining milk a little at a time; stop before the mixture gets gloppy. If the meat mixture gets too gooey to form nice, neat meatballs, add a more breadcrumbs.
4. Use a pair of spoons rinsed in water and shape the meat mixture into small round balls.
5. In a large skillet, heat remaining butter over medium heat. Add meatballs to skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan. Shake periodically so that the meatballs don't develop flat spots. Cook until meatballs are done through.
