Formjäsning

Formjäsning is a traditional Swedish meatball dish, originating from the 18th century. The name translates to "meat grinding" in English, reflecting the process of preparing the meatballs. The dish is typically made with a combination of ground beef, pork, and sometimes veal, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, and spices. The mixture is then formed into small balls and simmered in a sauce made from beef broth, wine, and various herbs and spices.

Formjäsning is often served with boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, and pickled cucumbers. The dish is a staple in Swedish cuisine and is enjoyed both as a main course and as a side dish. It is also a popular choice for buffets and social gatherings. The simplicity of the ingredients and the cooking process make formjäsning a versatile and comforting dish that has stood the test of time in Swedish culinary tradition.
