IKEA Swedish Meatballs, Remixed

When IKEA UK released the recipe to its popular Swedish meatballs, it got the internet buzzing. This recipe maintains the creamy sauce the meatballs are served in, but with one significant switch - the ground meat. Chorizo is a pork sausage popular in Spain, Portugal, and South America. It is full of flavor and higher in fat compared to (making it taste even more delicious in my opinion) the standard combination of pork and beef. This is a guilty pleasure you can try at least once!

IKEA Swedish Meatballs, Remixed

A spin on the popular Swedish meatballs with a signature, creamy sauce. Using chorizo for meatballs makes them juicier and more flavourful as they have higher fat content. These meatballs will have you craving more.

Prep time: 65 MCook time: 35 MTotal time: 100 M

Ingredients:

• 1 heaped cup ground chorizo
• 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
• 3/8 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/8 cup milk (about 5 tablespoons)
• 1 egg (or 1 teaspoon mayonnaise)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Worchester sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili spice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. In a bowl using your hands, mix the chorizo, garlic, onions, garlic, egg/mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Be sure to mash any large lumps. 
2. Add the milk, then shape into meatballs into the size of a golf ball. Chill in the fridge for at least 1-hour minimum (this will help the meatballs from breaking apart too easily).
3. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a pan. Brown the meatballs, each for about 4 minutes per side. 
4. Finish them off in an oven at 350F for about 25 minutes and add 2 tablespoons of water to prevent burning. Keep a close eye and make sure the meatballs cook through.
5. In another pan, add the rest of the butter and olive oil. Whisk in the flour to form a paste, cook for about a minute. 
6. Add the broth, cream, Worchester sauce, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic chili and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue to whisk until it thickens.
7. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and baste with the sauce over low heat until they all fully covered.
8. Serve hot with pasta or mashed potatoes!
