Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Grate or chop the onion finely and put in a bowl with the ground meat. Add the other ingredients and mix well.
Wet your hands, and roll the mixture into meatballs that are approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Add butter to a frying pan and fry the meatballs over medium heat until fully cooked through.

Cream sauce

Cook the cream and cream cheese in a saucepan. Mix in the left over juices from the frying pan used to cook the meatballs. For a thinner sauce, dilute with a couple of tablespoons of water.
Add soy sauce if you prefer a sauce with a darker color and saltier taste.
Lower the heat and let simmer for a couple of minutes or until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Cauliflower and lingonberries

Boil cauliflower florets in lightly-salted water until just softened. Mash gently with a fork into chunky pieces for serving.
Heat the lingonberries or cranberries in a couple of tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Mash gently using a fork. Add a small amount of honey or other sweetener; just enough to take the bitter edge off the berries.
