20051108 Scandinavian Meatballs

            My second attempt at Swedish meatballs, or Scandinavian (from my Norwegian heritage).  My grandmother's recipe:

Combine 2 pounds ground round and 1/4 pound suet with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and a little ginger.  Add 1/2 cup boiled cream.  Work well, the more the better.  Shape into balls and boil in soup stock for a few minutes, then brown slightly in butter.  Make gravy of a little stock in frying pan after frying meatballs.

My alterations:

No suet

Part ground beef, part ground pork

2% milk rather than boiled cream

Instead of boiling in stock and browning, I just put the stock in the fry pan.  I've seen my grandmother do it both ways.  You don't end up with browned meatballs this way, but it saves a step and a pot.

No gravy--I don't care for it.

Result--delicious.  The only mistake was once again making my meatballs too large.
