Albóndigas suecas rápidas

Ingredientes

• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 100 ml cider vinegar
• 1/4 x 20g pack dill, roughly chopped, plus extra to garnish
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 x 350g pack Sainsbury’s 10% fat Mini Beef Meatballs
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 250 ml beef stock
• 50 ml half-fat crème fraîche
• 2 x 400g packs Taste the Difference Mashed Potato
• 4 tbsp cranberry sauce (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   For the pickles, add the cucumber to a bowl, then add the sugar and a pinch of salt and massage in. Pour over the vinegar, stir in the chopped dill, then set aside for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, for the meatballs, add the oil to a large pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook on all sides until golden brown, around 8 minutes. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the flour to the pan and whisk into the oil left in the pan. After a few minutes, slowly start pouring in the stock, whisking constantly. Season well. Add the meatballs back in and gently simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes or until cooked through, then stir in the crème fraîche.

3. 3

   Serve the meatballs and sauce with the mashed potato, a dollop of cranberry sauce, if using, the drained pickles, and some extra dill.
