  • Chef Emma Bengtsson from Aquavit in NYC shares her Swedish meatballs recipe that puts IKEA’s to shame. Emma’s meatballs, made from pork and beef, are rolled small and pan fried, and paired with pureed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, lingonberries, and a sauce made with cream and veal stock. This flavor-packed recipe is sure to keep you warm through the cold winter months.

    Two years to the day since this was first posted, just before the stuff hit the fan and Aquavit NYC is still keeping on. Chef Bengtsson keeps it strong and authentic, at least according to Scando-Americans. They provide such a wonderful culinary experience. Amazing fare to be had if you can't make it to Stockholm.

    Moms Swedish meatballs are still the best. (Same way her mother made them )
    Finely grated onion and potato (boiled before) instead of breadcrumbs. Much better flavor. (Other parts are the same, some heavy cream, salt, pepper, and a mix of ground beef and pork), or you can use all pork which makes them super moist (and more unhealthy but still ;>)
    Being Swedish I tried most ways to make meatballs but this is still the ones I like the most
