SWEDISH MEATBALLS

     MEATBALLS-2 - A Swedish national dish

     This is a traditional Swedish recipe. It is served at the
     smorgasbord and also at Christmas in Swedish homes (as one
     of many dishes). It can also be served with brown sauce,
     potatoes and lingonberry jam at lunch or dinner.  Kids love
     the meatballs with pasta.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     1/2 cup   bread crumbs
     1/2 cup   milk
     1         small onion
     1 lb      ground meat (mixture of beef and pork)
     1         egg
               salt and pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mix bread crumbs and milk. Let it swell for about
               10 minutes.

          (2)  Mince the onion and fry it until soft.

          (3)  Mix all the ingredients.

          (4)  Form into small balls with your hands. This is
               easier to do with wet hands.  The size of the
               balls can vary a little, but a cherry is too small
               and a ping-pong ball is too big.

          (5)  Fry the balls in butter in a frying pan (medium
               hot) for about 5 minutes. Turn them around to get
               them fried on all sides. The balls get dark brown.

NOTES
     It's a little bit tricky to get the balls round. Don't put
     all the meatballs in the frying pan at once.

RATING
     Difficulty: moderate.  Time: 30-40 minutes.  Precision:
     measure the ingredients.
