Try our very own original BigOven take on the classic Swedish Meatballs served in IKEA cafeterias across the globe. Made with three types of meat covered in a creamy lingonberry sauce, you get to enjoy this classic Swedish dish without going through the labyrinth that is IKEA to find it. These spherical delights make the perfect topping for buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Our video will walk you through the process -- no reservation required.
FOR THE MEATBALLS:
1. Combine the breadcrumbs and heavy cream in a small bowl, stirring with a fork until all the crumbs are moistened. Set aside.
2. In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add butter and sweat the shallots for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute or so, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl, combine the meats, onion/garlic mixture, honey, thyme, egg, salt and pepper, Worcestershire, and reserved breadcrumb/cream mixture. Mix well, but take care not to overwork the mixture.
4. With wet hands, shape the mixture into ping pong-sized meatballs.
5. Over medium-high heat, melt butter back in the previous cast iron skillet and, working in batches and being careful not to overcrowd, brown the meatballs on all sides and just cooked through. Transfer each batch of meatballs to a tray and drain off the fat from the skillet -- leaving just enough to coat the skillet.
6. Over medium heat, whisk in butter, stock, cream, lingonberries, and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer until slightly thickened. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer until the meatballs are glazed and thoroughly cooked, about five minutes.
7. Serve hot over buttered egg noodles (or mashed potatoes). Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with additional lingonberry preserves.
