Ingredients

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 500 g Meat, beef, ground

  • 2 slices Bread, wheat

  • pieces Milk, whole milk

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • pieces Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • pieces Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 spoon Butter, unsalted

  • 1 teaspoon Mustard

  • 4 dl Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 1 dl Sweet cream

Steps

  1. Add the toast slices to a bowl and pour milk over them.

  2. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the ground meat, along with the egg, the milk-soaked toast slices (squeeze out the excess milk), salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well with your hands to form a uniform mixture, then shape into small walnut-sized balls (use a spoon to help). Roll the balls in flour.

  3. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Push the cooked meatballs to the side of the pan, add a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of flour to the center, and sauté the flour in the melted butter until it turns golden.

  4. Add mustard and pour in the broth. Stir well to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce. Let the dish simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Shake the pan occasionally during cooking (do not stir).

  5. Stir in the sweet cream and let it simmer for a bit longer. Serve the prepared dish with spaghetti, rice, or potatoes, or enjoy the meatballs in sauce with a slice of homemade bread.
