Then add breadcrumbs , egg, milk and spices and knead until you get a uniform mass . Meatballs should then be formed from this mass and placed on a plate. The small balls of hack can then stay in the refrigerator or another cool place for two hours and pull through.
Ikea: The Köttbullar still have to be in the oven after searing
Next, heat some oil in a pan on medium heat and fry the meatballs in it. When the Köttbullar are brown, remove them from the pan and place them in an ovenproof dish (e.g. a baking dish or cake tin). The balls must then be cooked in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes .
Incidentally, all branches of the Swedish furniture giant in North Rhine-Westphalia have already reopened. However, due to the corona virus, there are a few things to consider when visiting Ikea *.
The sauce with the Köttbullar is a must if it should taste like Ikea
While the balls are cooking in the oven: it is best to prepare the sauce during this time . To make the Köttbullar taste like Ikea, the butter is first melted in a saucepan. The flour is then heated up for about two minutes. The broth is gradually poured in with stirring until the sauce changes consistency and becomes thicker.
Only then is the double cream mixed in. The Dijon mustard and two teaspoons of soy sauce are still missing for the taste . As an accompaniment to the Köttbullar, we offer fries or mashed potatoes like Ikea - and don't forget: the cranberry compote.
