Spottsten

Spottsten is a traditional Swedish dish that has been a staple in Swedish cuisine for centuries. The name "spottsten" translates to "spot stone" in English, referring to the distinctive speckled pattern of the dish. It is a type of meatball, typically made from a combination of ground beef and pork, along with various seasonings and spices. The meat mixture is formed into small balls and then boiled in a flavorful broth, which is usually made from beef stock, onions, and sometimes potatoes. The meatballs are then served with the broth, often accompanied by boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam. Spottsten is a hearty and comforting dish, often enjoyed during colder months or as a comforting meal on chilly evenings. Its rich flavor and tender texture make it a popular choice for both traditional Swedish meals and modern interpretations of Swedish cuisine.
