@ Seamus - yuck!!!


Swedish Meatballs are extremely tasty (I make them by memory, I tried my best to list out).

Half and half of ground beef and ground pork (maybe half pound of each).
1 onion - minced
1 egg
breadcrumbs (maybe half a deciliter give or take)
white pepper (this is really potent, so you do need to be careful with this. I would say probably two to three pinches)
salt (maybe a pinch or two)

Mix all together, roll into balls, put in frying pan on medium heat, cook till done.

You can eat with ketchup, or if you have access to lingonberries you can have that with mashed potatoes, and of course they are tasty without any condiments too.

Thanks for the recipe I'm really going to try this one. Can I possibly do this without the pork? Thank you again

How about dessert? Do you have any easy-to-make, quite tasty recipe?

Posted by: snarky 29.Nov.2013, 01:45 PM

Well you can do without the pork, but this is the typical Swedish meatball recipe and it includes pork, lol!

For easy dessert recipes, see below.

(the saffransbullar and pepparkakor are typically made this time of year, I don't care for either of these but they are very popular here)

Also, here is some random ones that are generally enjoyed by all in Sweden -

From my childhood it has always been Raggmunk.

Not sure why, maybe I am a carb lover, maybe I just like the taste but being in California, I've never found any place that makes these even close to what I liked as a kid. I make my own mostly on weekends. Something about this dish, American pancakes on weekends? Not sure.

I've always thought the potatoes my mother used were just different than the ones I get out here and that makes all the difference.

Thank you for the list of recipes! Very helpful.

One of my all time favorites is "sillt?rta"

Or an 'English' or an 'American'.
Don't get too carried away with your bias.
Even in the UK, you won't here the likes of 'An English' - but 'Chinese', 'Thai' or an 'Indian' - they get heard almost anywhere.

I don't have a recipe to share I'm afraid, but my favourite Swedish food is planka. So delicious!

My favorite Swedish dish is Jansson's Temptation. It is so delicious and yummy everyone should try it.

Planka is worth a try at home, but of course you have to buy the planka boards first (ICA Maxi sell them).

Get some pork fillet (fl?skfil?) and slice into thick slices. Season it then fry in a pan and place on your boards (warm the planka boards in the oven while you fry the meat). Pipe mashed potatoes around the outside (adding an egg to the mash helps it brown up nicely under the grill). Then put whatever sauce you're using on (just buy bearnaise or red wine sauce premade from the supermarket), plus any veggies on the side (half a tomato is traditional too) and finally grill to perfection under the broiler (if you're American) or grill (if you're normal) ;P

Restaurant luxury at home and not very hard to do at all!

I always love the taste of potatoes that's why Janssons frestelse is my favorite Swedish food.

Elk is definitely my favorite. It provides an altogether, complex, and fantastic tasting red-meat experience. Absolutely Love it .
