• 1 onion
• 100 g bread crumbs

How to make Köttbullar

1. Finely chop 1 onion and sauté it in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 500 g ground beef, 250 g ground pork, the sautéed onion, 100 g bread crumbs, 100 ml milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, and 1/1 tsp pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. Form the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of golf balls, by rolling them in your hands.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat and add the meatballs, frying them until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour into the remaining fat in the pan, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and combined.
7. Slowly pour in 300 ml of beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 5 minutes.
8. Return the meatballs to the pan, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 10 minutes to absorb flavors before serving.
