It's wierd that Ikea serves this with broccoli. The classic condiment is thinly sliced and pickled cucumber, "pressgurka".
A few notes to say before anything else.
Swedish Meatballs should be fried, not oven roasted/baked.
We also don't use soysauce in the brown sauce.
And it just tasted better with rå rörda lingon (Translates to basically raw stirred lingonberries, it is a type of jam we have here, that can be described as sour with a sweetness).
Now to the "Secret Ikea Meatballs Recipe!"
There is non. Depending on the country, and what is accessible to them, the ingredients change, like the ones we have here in Sweden (Horrible things), are pre-packaged meatballs, premade sauce, some peas and a table spoon of lingon jam.
When Joshua says they smell fishy, I take a guess, on that they also have a fish dish, that they make, and many times they just reuse the pans without washing them first, so that might be why.
Yes sure, let us use fermented soy in a scandinavian dish.
60 y-o Swede here. The tartnes of lingonberries is balancing the salty, heavy gravy and mash. I would not recomend going sweeter with the sauce. Anchovis in meatballs? Never heard that before. And about IKEA.. They do not make great meatballs. It is a furniture store ok.
My one and only rule for meatball is, if you must add onion – cook it first. Otherwise, half the time, no matter how well you cook the meatball, you just end up biting into raw onion.
I've seen, but never gotten to play in, a micro tabletop RPG about being lost in an ikea store.
There are several indie horror games about having to navigate an ikea store.
There's at least 1 3PP module for D&D 5e on DM's Guild where the dungeon is an ikea store.
Someone made a digital-only hack of the boardgame Magic Maze where it's an ikea store instead.
The ikea store captivates many tabletop players for some reason…
There is a Swedish lady who works at a restaurant in New York that makes swedish meatballs, you can find her on YouTube and make here version too and compare 🙂
if it smells fishy that could be that they use oil made from soya, the soya oil is high in omega 3 and specialy omega 6 wich i belive can give a slight "fishy" smell
Could you use yoghurt in the place of milk in the meatballs? I have home made croutons/bread crumbs which I would soak in the yogurt to make soft, as bread would be.
11:24 I recently came across a post on Instagram which said that using aluminium foils can cause aluminium leaching at higher temperatures which can contaminate the food.
Is it true? Also what are higher temperatures?
This was not really Swedish meatballs, I'd love you make a proper recipy of Swedish meatballs, but more interesting maybe would be make like "Pannbiff" which close to same, but not the same. But not known outside of Sweden. "Wallenbergare" is even more interesting. But more common on the West Coast than all of Sweden.
IKEAs looks soooooo much better except the meatballs.
Soy sauce is important, but chicken stock… Weird in a dish with beef and porc meat. Mustard is usually added in Swedish meatballs.
That was WAY too much butter and I love butter.
Hi Chef James. Just finished watching and you are as helpful as always. Do you think you can do another video of this but use your recipes for the meatballs, gravy and jam? Would love to see what you do differently.
American food, american IKEA shouldn't differ, broccoli is not usually included. Fresh pickled cucumber is also part of recipe though.
In Sweden 20y ago before online, every year, every family got one IKEA catalog, they sell that good.
Cranberries are really not close, but foreigners that not know difference and don't eat jam with meatballs guess not matter…
Sorry, James, but cranberries are not an acceptable substitute for lingonberries. To a Swede, that's like putting a zucchini on a pancake. You immediately lose the traditional label if you skip the lingonberries.
Not an IKEA recipe but very delicious: tiny meatballs on a stick/pin with parts of red Union, pickle and Amsterdam unions. Bake*. After baking poor hot Gado Gado sauce over it. Or better, serve with this peanut sauce. On top fried dried baked unions.
…delicious!
*Mostly I bake the meatballs before sticking them together with the pickle and unions. Store cold. And when needed just take out of the fridge and bake untill warm or fry them. Serve as mentioned above.
Note: You can make a dish out of these when adding Basmati rice and the Gado Gado salat (Indonisian cuisine).
…enjoy cooking!
In culinary school we are taught not to add salt while boiling the potatoes for mash. Itwill make the mash "long", like goopy kinda
Also you pickle cucumber with this dish. We call it "pressed cucumber" (roughly translated). Finely sliced, add salt, make it rest. Put in in a strainer. Shake to lose some of the liquids. Place a small plate on it with a weight to press most out the remaining liquids out for 30 min. (therefor the name) Vinegar essence, sugar, water, white pepper, salt to a boil. Add finely chopped parsley and pour it over the cucumber slices. I'm offended. I work in a nursing home for elders in Sweden and cook traditional dishes for 80-100 year olds.
Half way the video. Well not really. I'm stuck when Chef Mkinson is 'trying' to make the berry sauce. As a former patissier I can tell you that you need to 'well' the dryed fruits at least overnight. So that they can take up all the fluids. Just like you do with raisins.
The fuck. Orange juice and cest in lingonberry jam? How drunk is this long haired hippie? (jk i like Joshua aswell) In Sweden we call it raw steared lingon berries. You don't wan't to create a jam/ pure. You want the lingon berries intact so they burst in your mouth, sweet and tart explosion.
The secret ingredient was horse, wasn't it?
I think Chef James would like "Men With the Pot" videos. It has asmr from the chopping and crunch from tasting. It might be something different to watch.
I've definitely seen other chefs make Swedish meatballs with cranberry jam instead of lingonberry and seen people in the comments complain about this. To any Swedes: sorry bro. We don't have lingonberries in the US. That's not a thing here. I've literally never once seen them for sale in the grocery store in my 40 years on this Earth. I'm gonna go ahead and state for the record that Swedish meatballs with cranberry jam is a lot better than no Swedish meatballs at all due to not having lingonberries. Y'all gonna have to get over it.
We have to ask Jordan the Stallion🤔 not fast food but he can get the recipe😂
