SWEDISH MEATBALL SAUCE WITHOUT CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add celery and parsley and cook until soft, about 3-4 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, egg, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper and allspice. Mix well and form into 16 meatballs.
• Add beef broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly drop meatballs into the broth. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside in a serving dish. Strain the broth, transfer to a blender with cream cheese and blend until smooth. Return to the skillet with the meatballs and simmer

Steps:

• Put the cream into a large bowl, add the breadcrumbs, set aside.
• In a large skillet melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add the onion, meat, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the breadcrumbs and cream.
• Mix everything together only until well mixed...do not overmix.
• In the same skillet as the onion, melt 4 tablespoons of butter on medium heat.
• Using two spoons, damp hands, or a small ice cream scoop, form the meat mixture into 1 inch balls and place into the skillet. Leave room around each meatball.
• Cook on each side turning to the next side after about 1-2 minutes. Set cooked meatballs into a pan in a low-heat 200 degrees oven while cooking the remaining. Cook meatballs to 165 degrees internally.
