Swedish Meatballs 2

Makes 3 dozen 1 1/2 inch balls

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/4 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup light cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 pound ground veal
  • 1 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Have meat ground together twice.

Soak bread in cream for 5 minutes.

Cook onion in 1 Tablespoon butter until tender.

Mix meats, crumb mixture, onion, egg, parsley, and seasonings. Beat vigorously until fluffy (5 minutes on medium speed or 8 minutes by hand).

Form in 1 1/2 inch balls (easier to do with wet hands and chilled mixture).

Brown lightly in 2 Tablespoons butter, shaking skillet to keep balls round (don't try to do too many at once). Remove balls. Reserve drippings.

GRAVY
