Swedish meatballs i - köttbullar


"There are almost as many recipes for Swedish meatballs as there are Swedish amateur chefs. The three main types are: (1) small, fried, served without sauce;

(2) large, fried, served in brown gravy;

(3) medium size, boiled, served in sauce.

The present recipe is a very simple version of type-1 meatballs, a childrens favourite."
