Homemade Swedish Meatballs swimming in sour cream gravy, made with Dijon mustard and dried cranberries, all served with mashed potato and tenderstem broccoli! An easy filling and hearty dinner that is simply perfect for a cold night in!
Ingredients
- 350 g pork mince
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 40 g breadcrumbs ideally, freshly made
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh or dried
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 250 ml stock hot
- 40 g dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 heaped tbsp sour cream
- 150 g tenderstem broccoli
- 800 g potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 150 ml milk
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 15-20 min until tender.
- In a large bowl, mix the pork mince, breadcrumbs, allspice and half of dill. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Shape 15 small meatballs.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to a non-stick frying pan. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook, shuffling them around the pan so they brown evenly on all sides, about 5 minutes. They will finish cooking in the sauce later. Take the meatballs out of the pan and keep warm.
- To the emptied meatball pan, add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add a tablespoon of plain flour and stir to combine into a paste (roux).
- Pour in the stock and stir well until no lumps are present. Simmer on low heat for 3 minutes until thickened.
- Add the cranberries and dijon mustard and stir again. Finally add the meatballs, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes on low heat, until cooked through.
- In the meantime, place your tenderstem broccoli in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes, add a tablespoon of butter and milk and mash to a smooth puree.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, stir in the sour cream and the remaining dill.
- Serve the meatballs with the mash and tenderstem broccoli.
