This porky Swedish favorite is familiar to anybody who has visited Ikea. Ideally, you should seek for the traditional version – "meatballs just as Mom used to cook" or "home-made" – which necessitates a trip to Sweden. The recipe differs from one location to the next.  Its side dishes, which include macaroni or mashed potatoes, cream sauce, and lingonberries, are just as tasty as the main course.

Swedish Meatballs

In a medium sized bowl combine ground beef, panko, parsley, allspice, nutmeg, onion, garlic powder, pepper, salt and egg. Mix until combined.

Roll into 12 large meatballs or 20 small meatballs. In a large skillet heat olive oil and 1 Tablespoon butter. Add the meatballs and cook turning continuously until brown on each side and cooked throughout. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.

Add 4 Tablespoons butter and flour to skillet and whisk until it turns brown. Slowly stir in beef broth and heavy cream. Add worchestershire sauce and dijon mustard and bring to a simmer until sauce starts to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add the meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Serve over egg noodles or rice.
