Swedish Meatballs

Food Faith Fitness (WayWith) - September 01, 2024

I can only speak for myself when I say that I didn’t even know Swedish meatballs were a thing. It wasn’t until I visited an IKEA back in college. Now, I feel like I see them everywhere, from the grocer to the butcher and even Costco. 

Swedish meatballs, or köttbullar, if you want to sound like you know your stuff, are not like Italian meatballs. Aside from their shape, they really don’t have much else in common. For one, Swedish meatballs are seasoned with allspice and nutmeg, giving them a distinct flavor. These savory bites are also usually served with creamy gravy and lingonberry jam if you can find it (or make it). So, if you’re a fan of comfort foods like beef stroganoff, Swedish meatballs are worth a try!
