This week we talked Swedish food with the amazing Inger Boudouris. Above is a photo of some of her favorite foods and best equiptment, She said Swedish meatballs are really a national favorite and Inger said the ones at Ikea are actually right on. Go figure. Here is a basic recipe so you can make them at home.

1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 lb lean ground beef
1/3 lb ground lean pork
1/3 ground veal
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
