kötforma

Kötforma is a traditional Swedish meatball dish, originating from the 18th century. The name "kötforma" translates to "meat form" in English, reflecting the dish's method of preparation. The meatballs are typically made from a mixture of ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The mixture is formed into small balls and then boiled or baked until cooked through. Kötforma is often served with lingonberry jam, a traditional Swedish condiment, and accompanied by boiled potatoes and pickled cucumbers. The dish is a staple in Swedish cuisine and is enjoyed both as a main course and as a side dish. Its simplicity and hearty nature make it a popular choice for family gatherings and celebrations.
