Stuffed Meat Balls In Yogurt Cream Sauce Recipes

EASY SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH CREAMY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork. Mix in all the other meatball ingredients by hand (except the olive oil) until well combined.
• Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on a clean platter, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, if possible - this helps them retain their round shape when cooking.
• In a large non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches to avoid overcrowding, add the meatballs and cook, turning continuously until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
• Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, whisk in the flour; stir to combine and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until no lumps remain and flour just begins to brown.
• Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then the heavy cream. Whisk in the soy sauce and mustard; bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for another 3 minutes to finish cooking and warm through.
• Serve over mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of parsley.

Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer just until meatballs are cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then strain through a sieve into yogurt mixture, stirring to combine.
