Klämm

Klämm is a traditional Swedish dish that has gained popularity in other Nordic countries as well. It is a type of meatball soup, typically made with a combination of beef and pork, although variations may include other meats or even fish. The meat is minced and mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and various seasonings, then formed into small balls. These meatballs are then simmered in a flavorful broth, often made from beef stock, onions, and carrots. The soup is typically served with noodles, such as egg noodles or rice noodles, and garnished with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Klämm is often considered a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for colder months. Its origins can be traced back to the 19th century, with variations of the recipe appearing in Swedish cookbooks from that time. Today, klämm is a staple in Swedish cuisine and is enjoyed both at home and in restaurants.
