Swedish Meatballs Sauce

Ingredients:

400g ground beef/pork

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup breadcrumbs

1 large eggs

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon allspice

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons flour

2 cups beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef/ground pork, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, and allspice. Mix well.

Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.

In a large pan , melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce.

Return the meatballs to the pan and stir to coat them in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve the meatballs with the sauce and garnish with parsley and rice, if desired. Enjoy!
