Swedish Meatballs (Kottbullar)
Small, tender meatballs in a creamy brown gravy, served with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and pickled cucumber.
Why It Works
The panade (bread soaked in cream) keeps the meatballs exceptionally tender. Allspice gives the distinctive Scandinavian flavor, and lingonberry's tartness cuts the rich gravy.
