Meatballs

Ingredients

• 500 g minced beef/pork
• Breadcrumbs
• Milk
• 1 egg
• Cream
• Lingonberry jam

How to make it

1. Soak breadcrumbs in milk. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
2. Mix with meat, egg, salt and pepper. Work in a bowl for 2-3 minutes until the mixture looks even, then let it rest for 10-20 minutes so the flour, meat or spices hydrate properly.
3. Roll and brown meatballs. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
4. Make cream gravy in the pan and serve with potatoes. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
