Finnish Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
500 g Minced beef
1 dl Fine dry breadcrumbs or two slices of white bread
1 dl Cream
1 Onion
1 tbsp Oil
1 Egg
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Allspice or white pepper
Gravy:
2 tbsp Fat
2 tbsp Flour
4 dl Pan juices
For: 4 servings
PREPARATION
Mix breadcrumbs with water and cream in a bowl. Let stand for
a while. Finely chop the onion and sauté in oil in a
frying pan or microwave oven. Add the onion, egg, seasonings
and meat. Mix until smooth. Wet your hands and shape the mixture
into balls. Fry meatballs in hot fat on all sides. Small balls
will be done in 3-5 minutes, larger ones 5-8 minutes.
To make gravy, brown the flour lightly in fat. Add the liquid
stirring all the time. Add the cream and check seasonings. The
gravy can be served separately or poured over the meatballs.
Serve with potatoes and grated carrots. Lingonberry jam and
gherkins also go well with the dish.
