Swedish Meatballs in Cream Sauce

Classic Swedish meatballs with a creamy mustard-honey sauce — serve with mashed potatoes and buttered peas for a proper weeknight dinner the whole family will go back for seconds.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all the meatball ingredients together and shape into small balls. Fry them in a hot pan with margarine, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 6–8 minutes until cooked through.

  2. 2

    Take the meatballs out of the pan. Pour in the cream, mustard and honey, and whisk well. Bring to a boil and let the sauce simmer until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the meatballs back into the sauce and scatter over the roughly chopped parsley and grated lemon zest just before serving.

  4. 4

    Peel the potatoes and rinse them in cold water for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Cook the potatoes at medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until they just start to fall apart. Poke with a knife — if it slides through easily, they're done. Drain the water and let the potatoes steam dry in the pot on the residual heat.

  6. 6

    Crush the potatoes with a balloon whisk or potato masher. Add milk and butter until you get the consistency you like. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, then whisk the mash together well.

  7. 7

    Melt the butter in a small pot and gently warm the peas until they're heated through.
