Swedish Meatballs

Here is my version of Swedish meatballs. The sauce is so simple to prepare and tastes lovely. You could serve this as a pasta dish which would work beautifully, with crusty bread, or with mashed potatoes and green veg. I wanted to keep a Scandinavian vibe so I used dill as my herb of choice. Parsley or chervil would also work really well. If making meatballs isn’t for you, then buy good quality shop bought and give the simple sauce a go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
