    Swede here. Nice take on our beloved meatballs. We usually soak the breadcrumbs in milk or cream or a mix of the two which makes the texture and taste amazing. If you can get a hold of lingonberries, you definitely need to try it. Also, we typically do them at least half the size of the ones in the video. Chef Jean-Pierre you are a gem

      My grandma came from Smaland Sweden. Her meatballs were made with pork, beef, onions, eggs, salt and pepper, dried bread crumbs soaked in cream, and a bit of nutmeg. Then browned. Using the leftover grease, she made a cream sauce that was poured over the meatballs..😊. Must be regional differences! Can't wait to try chefs amazing version!!!

    You remind me so much of my grandfather. The Mannerisms, and the way you explain things are very similar. He had a little family owned restaurant, and there was never a set menu. When you walked in, you sat wherever, and he'd yell over the counter what he made for the day lol. It was delicious home cooked meals. He had a huge garden so all the fruits and veggies were from there. He always told me you don't need to measure if you cook with your heart.

    I'm a Swede living in the USA, Ikea sell Lingonberry sauce (and a lot of upscale grocery stores so I assume you could actually find it in FL also. There is of course a lot of different Swedish Meatball recipes. Only thing on what you did that absolutely is not traditional would be that you had garlic and cayenne except for that you are close. We also normally make them a bit smaller then what you did.

  • @njuham

    Delicious! As a Swede I feel the lingonberry is kinda what "makes" this dish in a way (we sometimes mix it into the actual sauce as well) but I'm sure different berries would work well too. But yeah, lingonberry is definitely used for a few traditional Swedish dishes.
    If you're interested in more Swedish dishes, maybe you should make a semla! It's around that time of year now when we eat it. :)

    I've got this little Spanish street dog called Dolores 'Onyo' Chorizo. We live in Denmark, right near a giant IKEA. At least once a week, 'we' go over there to dine in their cafe on their famous Swedish meatballs with gravy, lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes. I say 'we', as sadly, Dolores has to wait outside, crying into her bowl of Pedigree Chum, as she's not allowed to come in (I guess they don't want dogs jumping all over their fancy furniture....MAMA MIA (geddit? My little ABBA joke there, haha!) Anyway, thanks to your amazing video today, you have made a little dog's BIGGEST dream come true: to finally taste this wonderous IKEA classic, in the comfort of her own home!!

    The wikipedia article on lingonberries is fascinating. The berries are traditionally used for many different things by different peoples around the north polar region. The plant tolerates extreme cold. "The Western Canadian Inuit use the minus subspecies as a tobacco additive or substitute" -- they smoke it! The lingonberry is related to the cranberry why not use cranberries instead. Great recipe, Chef!

You might need a few grains more salt or pepper, or allspice or nutmeg. I like mine quite strongly flavored with those spices. You want that whole pan to be perfect!

    It is not up to me, but let me say it helps to watch his essential videos about knives, how to make clarified butter, which has a much higher smoke point, how to chop vegetables, and different kinds of infused olive oils (my favorites are all of them), Parmisagno Reggianno, and more. Get a spice rack ready.
    I built 7 more shelves in the pantry so you can get the spices you will eventually need. LaValle Italian Tomato goods is all he uses. If you brand H or Kr, you won't be happy. Just a suggestion. I have learned so much from him. My family is shocked at what I serve them. No complainers are now at the table. Sometimes, I make a big mistake and have to start all over. The chef thinks that is normal. Happy cooking! I love it. Just an admirer of Chef JP very much. I have made almost every recipe he gives and teaches us. Sin qua non-above the pack.

    Love the way you make our meatballs your own, most of us swedes have our own recipes a little different from yours.
    Also love the way you use cranberry sauce in lieu of lingonberry jam. During a stay in the West Indies I made traditional Swedish pickled herring with flying fish, in lieu of herring.
    However, to the best of my knowledge it was the dolmas, minced meat wrapped in cauliflower leaves (originally vine leaves) not the meatballs, that came from Turkey.
    Meatballs more probably came of the small homestead that had maybe a horse as a drought animal, a cow for milk and a pig for pork. Once the pig is slaughtered in mid winter you had to use various techniques to make the most of every scrap and make that meat last until spring. A lot was salted which is partly what we make Christmas ham from, bake until cooked and then grill with a covering of mustard mixed with lightly whipped egg and bread crumbs. A lot of the scraps of meat was probably used to make the “prototype” of what became the modern meatball.

    Typically the spice mix would also include white pepper and allspice. In some recipes sugar or syrup is added but it's not necessary. The meatballs are also optimally sauteed and not cooked in an oven, because the sauce is essentially a pan sauce, and some meat juices and browned bits on a pan contribute to it. For everyday cooking oven is handy though, no need to make it in batches.

    I live in the heart of the Swede, Norweigian, and Danish settlements in MN. I have been to many church suppers and potlucks. I have had many plates by different cooks.
    Alspice is the main thing that gives them the swedish flavor. meatballs. I have never seen tomatoes in the gravy here. It is a combination of the scraps in the skillet with sour cream added first in low heat. Toward the end, pure thick cream is added and heated slightly. ( so it dont curdle.)

In a family recipe that I have that was given to my grandmother from a Swedish great aunt, it's nearly the same as yours, only no garlic nor cayenne pepper (I still add garlic anyway) and has nutmeg and allspice in the meatballs. It also calls for the Worcestershire sauce to go into the gravy instead of the meat, and to add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the gravy. Like you, I serve it with mashed potatoes.

    A tip from Sweden
    Everybody likes the seared surface when eating meatballs.
    The smaller the meatball the more searing per weight unit.
    So take your time and roll more meatballs out of every pound of mince.
    And an easy trick for the sauce if you have some redwinesauce is just to add some cream to it. That way you dont have to make the sauce from scratch.
    Works really well to meatballs

    As a tip: You can put the cream on the breadcrumbs and let them soak for like 30min. Makes it really easy to incorperate it into the ground beef.

    • @alexanderlabrea
      @alexanderlabrea 3 місяці тому +2

      Yes, that is a very good tip :) As a swede myself I'm okay with putting personal twists on it, but soaking the breadcrumbs in a fair amount of milk or cream is crucial for really good Swedish meatballs. They'll be jucier and more tender. The mixture should be way "wetter" than in the video. And the sauce should be made in the pan, not separately, but I don't doubt it was very delicious :)

    Take a the silky smooth gravy and ya rub it allover your body. Tastes amazing. For me, more than the recipes which are simple let the ingredients do the work, it's the little preparation techniques from this hilarious man that are the most impactful in flavor and texture like a little journey. Simple things very easy to overlook or never even consider. Now what he does off screen with the butter, that's his business like a French Italian Doc Brown. It's when you get really proud of what you made that you get that bowl out and prominently display it on the counter because it shows you know a thing or two using room temperature butter.

Next time I will make them bigger with flavour á la Jean-Pierre, but I will not call them swedish. It would be some sort of blasfemi :-) My grandmother (borned 1897) used Allspice (Kryddpeppar in swedish) in meatballs. In denmark Allspice is namned Allehånde, which is as close you can get in translation. Thanks for all inspiration Jean-Pierre!

    just one thing for your notes chef; we don't serve our Swedish meatballs with broccoli (it's not a thing anywhere in Sweden as far as i know, even though you can, of course!), that's some american/IKEA made up thing. Instead, you're supposed to serve it with pressgurka, which is slightly salty thin-sliced pickled cucumber - to balance the fat from the sauce and tang from the lingonberry sauce to make the dish come full circle.
    Also, when you make a lot of meatballs, like for Christmas in Sweden, it's common to put the meat-dough into a piping bag, then you just pipe them out on an oiled plate and slide one plate-worth of meatballs into the frying pan per batch.
