Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1 dl (½ cup) fine dry bread crumbs
• 1 dl (½ cup) light cream
• 1 dl (½ cup) water
• 200 g (7 oz.) ground beef
• 200 g (7 oz.) ground lean pork
• 1½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. ground allspice
• 2 tbl grated yellow onion
• (and/or 2 crushed garlic cloves)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 tbl margarine or butter

Mix the bread crumbs, cream and water; set aside for 5 minutes. Work together the beef, pork, salt, allspice and onion. Gradually add the bread crumbs, then the egg. Blend well and fry a sample to test the seasoning. Shape into balls. Make large meatballs to be served for dinner or small meatballs for the smörgåsbord. Heat part of the margarine or butter in a skillet. Add 10 to 15 meatballs. Fry over moderate heat until the meatballs are beautifully brown and cooked through. Transfer to a serving dish and keep hot while frying the remaining meatballs. Serve with boiled potatoes, lingonberry preserve and a tossed salad.
