Swedish-Style Meatballs with Cream Gravy and Lingonberries
Inspired by techniques from Serious Eats, NYT Cooking and America's Test Kitchen.
This follows the same method as our beef meatballs in tomato sauce, but the all-beef mixture is spiced with allspice, nutmeg, white pepper and grated onion, pan-fried in butter and oil, then finished in a cream gravy made in the same pan and served with lingonberry jam, with no garlic, parmesan or tomato sauce.
