Elva’s Swedish Meatballs (Sma Kottbullar), Simply Succulent! A great dish that Bird’s Dutch/German mom would make for me when I was growing up It’s overlooked sometimes how recipes are an heirloom of our family heritage I’m glad she gave me this recipe to remember her with For Chef #107583’s lighter, healthier version, try Recipe #279517, I made a lighter version of this recipe for a challenge game and they tasted great, but the sauce was a bit bland I am used to cardamom and nutmeg in Swedish meatballs, so will add those to the sauce next time The texture of the meatballs was really nice I replaced the pork and veal with ground turkey, the cream with fat-free half and half, used low-sodium soy sauce, egg-beaters and regular margarine This cut fat, calories by half, and cholesterol by 179 mg per serving We love Swedish meatballs, and I will be making this again, with my changes Thanks for the good base to work with!
