Have you ever been to IKEA and tried their famous meatballs? We bring you the original recipe, but much tastier (because you make it) :D Delicious! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and with a very smooth sauce. A perfect blend of flavors. Pair it with raspberry jam and mashed potatoes to complete this Swedish menu :)

Ingredients

For the meatballs (40 units):

• 500 g ground beef
• 250 g ground pork
• 1 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 5 Tbsp milk (60 ml)

Materials

Preparation

• For the meatballs:
  In a bowl, mix the ground beef and ground pork. Add the chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix again.
• Finally, add the milk and season with salt and pepper.
  Take a portion and form balls of your desired size (preferably not too large).
  
• Place the meatballs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some olive oil on top and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C (390°F).
• For the sauce:
  In a pan, melt the butter and add the flour. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.

  Serve the meatballs with the sauce on top and accompany with mashed potatoes and berry jam on the same plate.
  
• And there you have it! Delicious!

Observations
