  • Ever wondered how to recreate those iconic IKEA meatballs in the comfort of your own kitchen? We'll show you all the secrets to making these juicy, flavorful meatballs, as you remember from your last IKEA visit. Perfect for a cosy dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is both simple and satisfying. Let’s get started!
    250 gr double grind ribs meat
    1 medium onion
    4 tablespoon breadcrumbs
    1 egg
    3-4 tablespoon cream
    1 leveled teaspoon salt
    1 leveled teaspoon black pepper
    2 pinches baking soda
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 potato, finger sliced
    For the sauce;
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 tablespoon butter
    300 ml beef stock
    4 tablespoons soy sauce
    2-4 tablespoon cream
    1 pinch black pepper
    Put the potatoes in the air fryer, spray some oil on them and fry at 200C (392F) for 20 minutes.
    Crack the egg on the minced meat in a bowl, add cream, salt, black pepper, baking soda, breadcrumbs and grated onion. Knead all of them until they get combined. Put the bowl in the refrigerator while making the sauce.
    For the sauce, roast the flour and butter in a small pot until it turns light brown. Add the cold meat stock little by little, stirring to avoid lumps. After adding all the stock, boil it for a while and when the sauce starts to thicken, add cream, soy sauce and black pepper. If it is too thick, you can add a little more water or stock.
    When the meatball mixture is in a good consistency shape like small balls. Each ball should be about 22-23 gr.
    To cook the meatballs, put some oil in a pan, and fry them.
    When you place the potatoes and meatballs on the plate and pour the sauce on them, your meatballs are ready to dethrone Ikea meatballs. Enjoy your meal.

    Amazing video. As a Swede I can say you did a pretty good job on the meatballs (traditionally I have never seen anybody use baking soda, and normally we soak the breadcrumbs in milk or cream first instead of adding the dairy straight into the mix, I would also highly recommend to brown the onion before adding it, but this is nitpicking), the sauce is kind of spot on, soy sauce is not unheard of, a lot of Swedes use it in the sauce including me. What baffles me do is chips with meatballs. I mean, I have no complaints, but that would not in a million years happen in Sweden. You would loose your citizenship probably. We serve it with mashed potatoes. Also in Sweden, it is always, always serverved with lingonberries and a fast pickled cucumber condiment. But great job as always. The Swedish sarma (my wife is Serbian so I mostly eat the almost Turkish version) is called "Kåldolmar" wich roughly translates to "Cabbage Dolma". Most Swedes do not know that this is a turkish dish or where the name came from. We eat that with lingon berries also, lol. And yes Swedish Meatballs is kofta, correct. Karl the 12th was actually kicked out of Turkey were he was kind of hiding. Cheers guys.

    Add either raisins or dried cranberry's to the meat mix everyone will be blown away with the flavor, you can do with turkey meatballs as well really nice gravy. I use CAVIT wine in my whole turkey pan and baste with it and use cheese cloth to keep it moist . Use ground turkey for yours lol Swedes have Lingonberries with theirs so the raisins and or cranberry's work great!

    The two Meatballers? It's always wonderful to see Burak, btw.... Anyway, this backstory is very interesting and it makes perfect sense. We have "Swedish" meatballs in our regular rotation. We add a little bit of allspice to the meat mixture and sometimes some nutmeg. Very little. About 1/4 teaspoon each per pound of meat. We brown the meatballs and then build the sauce in the same pan and finish by returning the meatballs to the pan while the potatoes or noodles are cooking. But how nice to be able to share the fruits of your research at the table the next time we make them!! Hope you and your magnificent team are well. Be safe/much love!!
