These homemade Swedish meatballs are the ultimate comfort food - tender beef and pork meatballs pan-fried to golden perfection and finished in a rich, creamy gravy. Seasoned with our Umami Blend for a deeply savoury depth of flavour, this easy weeknight recipe comes together in just 50 minutes.

Ingredients

For the meatballs

250g beef mince
250g pork mince
½ medium onion, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 egg
20g panko crumbs
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp Gewürzhaus Umami Blend
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for frying

For the sauce

50g unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup beef stock
½ cup cooking cream
½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Gewürzhaus Umami Blend
Good quality cooking salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Directions

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, except the oil, and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs (or 20 small meatballs, if preferred).
Heat the oil, then cook the meatballs over medium heat in a large skillet, turning as needed, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook until it turns golden. Gradually stir in beef stock, cooking cream, Dijon mustard and Umami Blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the sauce has thickened, return the meatballs to the skillet and toss them in the gravy. Cook until the meatballs are heated through.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

A great recipe – thank you – and a good start to the 2025 Advent Calendar. We substituted chicken mince, since we don’t eat red meat, and it was excellent (although you probably don’t need to add salt to the sauce – the Umami flavour already has sea salt and miso in it) – next time we’d add fry off some mushrooms to add to the sauce.

5 stars! Such a delicious meal. I served this with mashed potatoes, salad, and some steamed broccoli for extra greens and everyone loved it. Great beginning to the 2025 advent calendar!
