Swedish Meatballs

Have you ever wondered why the Swedish meatballs they sell at Ikea are so darn cheap? I've always wondered that but never really bothered to investigate (if anyone knows, email me because I'm curious but not curious enough to dig on my own, Ha!). So I hadn't been to Ikea in ages but the other night I needed a recipe that would be kid friendly—since my daughter has a school friend over—and I had an extra head of cauliflower that needed to be made. 

Swedish meatballs! I knew this was the ticket. I love the sweetness that comes from the nutmeg and all spice in this recipe. Most of the time I stick to my go-to recipes and that I find myself in a ingredient vortex. This recipe is a nice change of spices which really offered a nice change of pace to our normal weekly meals. The best part? All the kids ate it up and that is the BEST FEELING as a mom.

Serves:
4-6 People

Meatball Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh, chopped parsely
1/2 cup panko pork crumbs

Cream Ingredients:
1  1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup beef stock (or water)
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup gouda cheese, grated (or any other milder white cheese. Don't use any cheddars. Or just double the parmesan.)
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon avocado oil

Directions:
  1. In a pan heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and sauté onions until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  2. In a large bowl combine all the meatball ingredients and add the sautéed onions. Mix with your hands to incorporate all the ingredients. Form into meatballs about 2 inches in diameter.
  3. Once rolled, brown the meatballs in your pan with the remaining avocado oil. Remove cooked meatballs and set it aside.
  4. In a small bowl mix the xanthan gum and avocado oil to make a slurry. Once combined, set it aside.
  5. In the pan melt butter and add the xanthan slurry. 
  6. Using a whisk, mix the butter and the slurry until combined.
  7. Slowly pour the heavy whipping cream, stirring with your whisk to break up and xantham gum clumps. Stir until smooth.
  8. Add cheeses to the cream and stir until melted.
  9. Add beef stock or water to thin out the cream sauce to your desired consistency. 
  10. Add Worcestershire sauce and reduce your heat to medium-low.
  11. Add your meatballs back to the cream sauce and stir to combine and coat the meatballs. 
  12. Reduce your heat to low and allow the flavors to combine on a low simmer for 8-10 minutes.

​Serve Swedish meatballs with a side of veggies or over Mashed Cauliflower. Bon Appetit!
