Make classic comfort food with these easy, gluten-free Swedish meatballs served in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small onion
- 3 (75 g) egg yolks, at room temperature
- ½ cup (4 fluid ounces) milk, at room temperature
- 1 cup (120 g) panko-style gluten free bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons (27 g) basic gum-free gluten free flour blend
- 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce or tamari
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cups (24 fluid ounces) chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons (1.5 fluid ounces) heavy whipping cream
- Fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Fluffy white rice or gluten free egg noodles (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Peel and grate the onion on a standard size cheese grater. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, milk, bread crumbs, prepared grated onion, salt, pepper, and allspice. Mix well.
- Break up the ground pork and ground beef so they are loose, and add them to the bowl. Mix everything gently but completely with a large spoon, avoiding overmixing the meat.
- Portion the meatball mixture into golf ball-size balls using a small spring-loaded ice cream scoop or wet hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
- Shape the balls gently with wet fingertips to make them round.
- Bake the meatballs in the center of the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they feel firm and reach 160°F in the center when checked with a thermometer. Remove the meatballs from the oven.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the flour blend and cook, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly and smells nutty, about 1 minute.
- Add the soy sauce and vinegar, whisking constantly until the mixture bubbles.
- Add the chicken stock slowly while whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 6 minutes.
- Finish the gravy by adding the cream, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and cook until heated through, or place the meatballs on a plate and pour the hot sauce over them.
- Sprinkle the meatballs with the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with optional rice or noodles.
Notes
- For the gluten free bread crumbs, you can use store-bought or make your own from gluten free bread.
- When selecting ground meats, use 90% lean ground beef for good flavor and texture.
- The gravy is intended to be a thinner sauce; it will not be very thick.
