Ingredients

• 400g Smörgåsbord Swedish Meatballs
• 25g Butter
• 2 sprigs Tarragon
• 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 100ml Organic Double Cream
• 100ml Chicken Stock

Method

  • Brown the meatballs: In a pan, melt the butter and lightly roast the meatballs until golden and aromatic, releasing that rich, nutty flavour.
  • Create the sauce: Remove the meatballs and deglaze the pan with a splash of water. Stir in the double cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well with a wooden spatula.
  • Simmer and finish: Reduce the sauce until it coats the spatula, then return the meatballs to the pan. Add a little chicken stock or warm water if needed, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the fresh tarragon just before serving.
  • Serve and enjoy: Plate with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles — it’s comfort food at its finest.
