Swedish meatballs- Köttbullar

Today is a bank holiday in Germany and we will visit my mother-in-law in Nürnberg so I decided to prepare something very simple and quick: Swedish meatballs or "köttbullar":

You need:

250 gr minced meat

1 egg

1 grated onion

1/2 dl breadcrumb

milk

salt and pepper

approx. 200 ml cream

1 bouillon cube

potatoes

lingonberries

Put the breadcrumb into a cup and add a shot of milk to get it to swell a bit. Mix the minced meat, egg and grated onion, salt and pepper and add the breadcrumb. Use your fingers to mix all ingredients, if it is too liquid add some more breadcrumbs (without milk) and form small meatballs.

Roast the meatballs at medium temperature from all sides and if they have a brown colour on every side add the cream and a little bit of the bouillon cube and let it cook gently. Cooked or roasted potatoes and lingonberries are great together with them.

It's my grandmother's recipe and while preparing it, I think about her and how many times she has prepared these. She used to have them in a metal bowl in her fridge when we came to Sweden. Even when she had turned 90 years and she had problems with her fingers, it was important to her to have some in the fridge for us, even the last time I saw her. She was a very special and warm person, that taught me many things about life and I really miss her.
