The primary ingredient of Swedish meatballs is ground meat, most commonly a mixture of beef and pork. These tender meatballs are seasoned with spices like nutmeg and allspice, which impart a distinct flavor characteristic of Scandinavian culinary traditions. The meatballs are typically served with a rich, creamy gravy and are often accompanied by lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes. This dish is a popular staple in Swedish cuisine and has gained international fame, especially through its association with IKEA, where they are prominently featured in the food court.
