METHOD
Heat the onion until golden in a couple of tablespoons of lightly browned butter. Mash the potatoes and moisten the rusk flour in a little water. Mix all the ingredients until there is consistency and flavour generously with salt, white pepper and allspice. Use a pair of spoons to shape the mixture into relatively large, round balls and transfer to a floured chopping board. Fry them slowly in plenty of butter. For the sauce: heat the stock in a pan, add the cream and soy sauce, stirring, and thicken with the flour. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve the meatballs with the sauce, freshly boiled potatoes, uncooked lingonberry jam and salad and you have the perfect Swedish meal, according to Ikea. But then, since it’s their recipe, there’s probably one ingredient missing and the sauce may come apart.
