Köttbullar with lingonberries

Köttbullar are small Swedish meatballs, often served with mashed potatoes, cream gravy and lingonberry jam. Lisa Lemke’s recipe combines minced beef and pork with breadcrumbs soaked in cream, egg and concentrated stock. Onion softened in butter, salt and black pepper complete the mixture, which is shaped into small balls and fried.^[1]

The gravy is made in the frying pan with cream, cornstarch, beef stock and dark soy sauce. Lingonberry or cherry jam adds sweetness to the sauce. The meatballs return to the pan before serving with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam; chopped parsley is an optional garnish.^[1]
