Beat vigorously until fluffy (5 minutes on medium speed or 8 minutes by hand). Form in 1 1/2 inch balls (easier to do with wet hands and chilled mixture). Brown lightly in 2 tablespoons butter, shaking skillet to keep balls round (don't try to do too many at once). Remove balls. Reserve drippings.

1 med. onion


3 tbsp. butter


1/2 lb. ground meat


1/2 lb. ground lean pork


1 egg

1/3 c. water


1/3 c. sherry





Soak bread crumbs in milk. Chop onion fine and cook in 1 tablespoon butter until slightly brown. Add meat, onion, egg and seasoning to bread crumb mixture. Mix well. Form meat balls by scooping up some meat on a teaspoon which has been dipped in hot fat. (Most Swedish cooks always do this so meat slips off spoon easily.) Brown meat. Shake skillet to brown evenly on all sides. When all meatballs are browned, add about 1/3 cup water and 1/3 cup sherry to skillet. Cook very gently over low heat for about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

2 pounds ground beef


1 cup fresh bread crumbs


1 cup finely grated Parmesan


1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh basil


1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


1 teaspoon kosher salt


1/2 teaspoon black pepper


1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper


2 cloves garlic, minced


3 eggs


3 tablespoons olive oil.





1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except olive oil by hand, using a light touch. Take a portion of meat in hand, and roll between palms to form a ball that is firmly packed but not compressed. Repeat, making each meatball about 2 inches in diameter.





2. In a large, heavy pot heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add meatballs in batches. Do not crowd. Brown well on bottoms before turning, or meatballs will break apart. Continue cooking until browned all over. Remove meatballs to a plate as each batch is finished. Let meatballs cool slightly; cover and refrigerate until needed
