SWE-Dishes: Marcus Samuelsson’s Swedish Meatballs

In SWE-Dishes, we typically post recipes sent to us by some of our favorite Swedish chefs from across the U.S., but today we’re going to do something a little bit different by sharing a recipe for Marcus Samuelsson’s Swedish Meatballs. 

We recently had the chance to catch up with Marcus Samuelsson, and we’ll be running our interview with him tomorrow – but for now, we’re going to whet your appetite with Samuelsson’s take on a classic Swedish dish – the meatball.

This recipe takes the meatloaf approach of combining three different ground proteins: chuck, veal and pork. Once you fry these delicious balls of joy up, Samuelsson suggests serving them with pickled cucumbers and some glögg for a traditional Swedish meal.
