Recipe: Combine the ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs and spices and mix. Sift flour slowly over the mixture, blending thoroughly. Warm up the milk to body temperature and pour it in slowly. Add the eggs, too. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. After that, roll the ground beef to 1-inch balls and arrange them on a baking tray. Cook the meatballs in a preheated oven at medium-high temperature until they are nicely browned. Remove the Swedish meatballs from the tray when they are ready, and set them aside. Saute the mushrooms in a frying pan. Collect the meat juices from the tray and deglaze with the red wine. Combine the meat juices, wine, cooking cream and beef stock in the pan with the mushrooms, and thicken the sauce with the cornstarch. Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the Swedish meatballs.
The Swedish meatballs can be an excellent party appetizer, if presented properly.
