Ikea Meatballs

My hubby craved for Ikea meatballs, so poor me had to try replicate those meatballs. If only Ikea meatballs in Melb is Halal. So as usual I googled the recipe and hope for the best. The recipe is pretty easy.

Ingredients

• 250gm minced beef
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
• 200-300ml cream and water (or milk and water)
• 2.5 tbsp. finely-chopped onion
• 4-5 tbsps butter, margarine or oil
• salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. soak breadcrumbs with cream.
   
2. heat the onion till golden in a couple of tablespoons of lightly browned butter.
3. mix all the ingredients until there is consistency and flavour generously with salt, white pepper and (optional) a little finely crushed allspice.
4. use a pair of spoons to shape the mixture into relatively large, round balls and transfer to a floured chopping board.
5. fry them slowly in plenty of butter.
