Background
If you like Swedish meatballs try this version! It’s easy to make, yummy and perfect on cold, winter days. Serve the meatballs with beetroot and mashed potatoes or a salad of your choice. If gluten is an issue for you, use rice or maze flour/breadcrumbs. Instead of sour-cream, vegan yoghurt can be used.
Ingredients
- 3 medium beetroots
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 1 small onion
- 250g minced pork
- 20g breadcrumbs (gluten-free, if needed)
- 150 ml sour cream
- ½ lemon, zested
- 1 Tbsp chopped dill
- Dill to garnish
- salt&pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Peel the beets then cut into large chunks. Scatter them onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with caraway seeds, drizzle with the oil. Bake for 20 minutes until just tender.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion. Mix the mince with the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, onion, dill and 1 Tbsp sour cream. Season with salt & pepper, combine well, then shape 6 balls using your hands.
- Remove the baked beetroot from the oven, then tuck the meatballs between them.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Mix the remaining sour cream with some dill and serve it on the side with the meatballs and beetroot.
