  • Today we're making Swedish Meatballs. You can make them smaller if you like, which works well with toothpicks as an appetizer. Both ways are great.

    Watch the Sip and Feast Podcast for all about cooking, recipes, tips, and tricks: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast. The lingonberry jam is awesome so I do recommend you serve it on the side. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

      For baking meat balls, I have a tip: use a cake pop pan, and put one meatball in each of the ball shaped divots. With this method you get better contact with the pan for that contact browning, and the convenience of using the oven. Or, use a takoyaki pan (one of those Japanese cast iron pans with the spherical divots). They're perfect for meat balls as well. If you bake meatballs in a cake pop pan, you might just get the best of both worlds.

      Thank you for the warning about Amazon's jacked-up prices. I'd never order anything from them because of the way they treat their employees, so I'm not surprised to hear that they also take advantage of their clients. There are so many other resources available, I hope people will make an effort to shop at local stores, but if they must order, please check around and try to find a more ethical and reasonable supplier.
      Lovely recipe, and yes, allspice is delicious. In France it's called poivre de la Jamaique/Jamaican pepper. I use a melange of black, white, allspice, and coriander in my pepper grinder.

      @@dragonwagon2799 yes, he does (or did) pronounce it correctly, but lately he’s kinda made fun of the pronunciation, pretending like it’s difficult. I grew up on the east coast and everyone called it Woost-a-sher sauce. No one ever thought it was difficult to pronounce.
      Ppl have difficulty when they try to make it 4 syllables instead of 3, and add the “ces’ part as a separate syllable worscest - is simply woost, then next “er” (often pronounced as “a” short vowel) , then shire is pronounced “sher” rhyming with “her.”
      I guess ppl like making a joke of pronouncing it, but it’s simple.
      It’s from England and Nigella and Gordon Ramsey pronounce it as we New Englanders do. They don’t stumble over it or make jokes about it.

    Swede here. Good job on the meatballs. 👍
    Traditionally Swedish meatballs are smaller and fried in butter not really in the sauce. Sauce/gravy is usually poured aside.
    Wostershire sauce is not that often used because Swedes usually use white vinegar (ättika) and or white wine vinegar. And the sauce is usually browner either by using dark soy sauce or collorit (which is sort of like molasses).
    Lingonberry jam is commonly served together with meatballs and I’m pretty sure IKEA sells it worldwide in their food market section. Another common aside is thinly sliced cucumber that is pickled (pressgurka).
    We don’t really do buttered noodles in Sweden. More traditional with potatoes. And if pasta is involved (spaghetti or macaroni) we tend to use tomato ketchup.

    As a Danish person living in a foreign country, this really speaks to my heart. Slight differences between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian techniques, but they are all comfort foods. You're a little unorthodox with some things, but if it tastes good, then it is good! I would be happy to eat anything you cook. You would be surprised at how moist the Danish meatball mix actually is. Danish meatballs are almost always fried in butter. My wife is Swedish, she always complains about how I cook the meatballs. Doesn't stop her from eating a ton of them! Nutmeg. cinnamon and allspice make a huge difference.

    Thanks for good content! Swede here, would say that it’s much easier to grate the onion instead of chop it. This will make it disappear in the meatballs. Also, the lingonberries is in classical way is mixed with sugar - buy frozen lingonberries and mix with sugar, let stand for a while and serve with potatoes together with the sauce and meatballs. To everyone that will travel to Stockholm in the future and want to know how the best Swedish meatballs taste, eat at Riche. Don’t forget to bock a table since it’s always crowded there.

    Most Swedes fry them in butter and then remove the meatballs from the pan, then make the sauce in the pan (or de glace it) just like you did, but with the good flavour from the meatballs still in the pan, and then strain it to a smooth and creamy sauce! In Sweden the meatballs are never cooked or served in the sauce, that's more Italian style, but always separated and then mounted on the plate with lingonberry (I think IKEA sell Lingonberry jam), and it's always served with boiled potatoes or mash potatoes! That is the traditional Swedish way!

Our lunches were leftovers, so we always shared. So much fun! Thanks for bringing back those memories . . . Every Christmas I made extra batches of my cranberry relish which I use exclusively for recipes like this and especially Kreplach/Pelmeni. Now that I'm thinking of it ... I may just use this as the meat stuffing with sauce on the side. Wow . . . I just solved UN border crisis between Sweden/Russia. LOL .... Hope y'all had a great holiday ...

    Love this channel so much. Always killing it. And the “fond” thing is so spot on. I learned to cook in kitchens in the 90s. One of my mentors was a classically trained French chef; this man taught me how to make my mother sauces, how to “sous vide” and confit before it was all the rage on UA-cam, reductions and pan sauces, and in general gave me the foundation to cook amazing food for the rest of my life. And not once, in years of working in professional kitchens, did I ever hear a chef use the word “fond.” Even the French chef called it a “crust,” and most everyone else referred to it as either “crust” or just straight up called it flavor (eg., “make sure you scrape the flavor off the bottom of the pan!”).
    My off-the-boat Italian grandmothers, the both of them, would’ve given me the spoon if I’d said the word “fond” around them. Nona and nana didn’t know those fancy words.

      And no one was implying cooking shouldn't evolve. Although I'd argue the irony is that french cuisine is based on classic principles and techniques that chefs are taught to adhere to with almost clinical precision. But the terminology used in a professional kitchen has absolutely bled into the mainstream, making every home cook filming themselves overcooking a chateaubriand under an oven broiler sound like a pretentious knob.

      @@Silverjerk I wasn’t implying it was Italian either. But you did mention your “Italian grandmothers would’ve given you the spoon” if you used the word fond. Well they wouldn’t have ever heard of it . It not only wasn’t in popular usage, it was not Italian . Most Italian terms I’ve heard of as a typical American home cook refer to the names of dishes rather than techniques. Many cooking terms we are all familiar with as Americans are French, as well as the names of dishes or other useful terminology. Such as fond.
      Jim has expressed disdain for the word many times indicating he thinks it is pretentious. Before Julia & Jacques showed up, people referred to “frying” , or “pan frying ,” not so much “searing” or “sautéing “ so vocabulary changes over time , as does cooking methods, and our understanding of food preparation. Right now, we are experiencing an explosion of interest in cooking, there’s more intense interest in different cultures, ingredients from around the world, everything is different! It’s a very exciting time for the world of food and I think UA-cam has a lot to do with it.
      I think rejecting the word fond indicates a lack of willingness to join the modern world of cooking. It’s to be behind the times. As much as I love Jacques & Julia, I hardly think ALL their methods are the preferred- some are ludicrously and excruciatingly tedious for unworthy results. But I admire so much what they have brought to us.

    Looks delicious as always! Although it feels more like a Swedish-inspired dish than actual Swedish meatballs. For that you wouldn't use any wine, worchestershire, mustard or parsley, and it's pretty much always served with pickled cucumber as well. It is a very homey, non-cheffy dish, though, so the recipe varies from family to family. And nitpicking aside, I'm pretty sure I'd love this dish!
    (... except the noodles, that's a bridge too far! 😅Meatballs and brown sauce with noodles to a Swede, is basically like a carbonara served with boiled potatoes instead of pasta to an Italian. **Technically** it's not illegal, but...)

    Been watching your videos regularly for over a year whenever I want to learn how to cook something new. Mad respect! I subscribed today after the Swedish meatball episode. The production was smooth-the pacing was good-and the recipe was awesome!. Thanks so much. This is my next cooking project as a fledgling cook. I also loved the explanation for the word “fond”. (I actually had been wondering about it) Hilarious. Had me giggling the whole time.

    Looks really delicious! There's a third cooking method that my mother used - in a pan. Flip and roll them around so they're evenly browned. The light searing adds some great flavor.

    Brown bits is so much more descriptive, and sounds more appetizing than that other word.

    Julia Child called it fond. She was classically trained in a French culinary tradition and was fluent in the vernacular. It's even in her cookbooks.

    • @jeanniebrooks
      @jeanniebrooks 3 місяці тому

      That’s interesting, and good to know. I didn’t recall that. I’ve watched many of her shows, The French Chef in particular, but I only bought Baking with Julia which, of course would not include that word. When I was learning to cook, I was not particularly interested in French Cooking, but I made soufflés, omelets, Boef Bourginone , Coq au Vin, but many other classics like lasagne, lamb stew, sauerbraten, stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, Boston baked beans and cod fish cakes, breads, fruit pies, custards, creme caramel, all kinds of cakes, cookies & bars, all kinds of soups- I was in my 20s and early 30s in those days and I had plenty of other inspiration from Gourmet Magazine, Joy of cooking, Fanny Farmer - French cooking was too rich and unnecessarily complicated to my mind! It still is!

    • @nancy9704
      @nancy9704 3 місяці тому +1

      Using the word fond is a better word than brown bits. Nothing wrong with using the "f" word. I think Julia Child ought to know.

    Yum
    I personally like to caramelize the onion first, but I like that you actually fry them because I sometimes see people add them raw and it risks it falling apart when frying.
    Also I prefer just soaking bread crumbs instead of working a bunch of bread. Makes it simpler =)
    I will say though, ask any swede and they'll say to eat it with potatoes. Mashed or just boiled.
    Really happy you got some lingonberry jam in there!

  • @michaelcurtis8277
    @michaelcurtis8277 3 місяці тому +1

    Hi james, Thank you for another great recipe. I did increase the amounts of allspice and nutmeg with success!! I also served with cranberry sauce and do feel that it was needed to cut through the richness of this great dish. I am very fond of this recipe. No pun intended!! Much love for you and your family. Peace on earth good will towards men. Thanks !!

  • @erics607
    @erics607 3 місяці тому

    I tried a similar Swedish meatball recipe for Christmas. I served mine over mashed potatoes as that is how it was served when I had it in Sweden. It tasted really good, but I was a bit let down with the recipe only because the ones I had in Sweden were one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life. I will have to give this recipe a try.

  • @dww2006
