IKEA has shared the recipe for the famous meatballs served in its restaurants in the pictured step-by-step guide format. The recipe sure looks easier than putting together a piece of their flat-pack furniture.
Without further ramblings, here is the recipe:
HOW TO MAKE IKEA MEATBALLS AT HOME
INGREDIENTS: For the meatballs
- 500g beef mince
- 250g pork mince
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic (crushed or minced)
- 100g breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons of whole milk
- salt and pepper to taste
INGREDIENTS: For the cream sauce

- 40g butter
- 40g plain flour
- 150ml vegetable stock
- 150ml beef stock
- 150ml thick double cream
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE IKEA MEATBALLS
- Combine beef and pork mince and mix thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and mix. Add milk and season well with salt and pepper.
- Shape mixture into small, round balls. Place on a clean plate, cover and store in the fridge for 2 hours (to help them hold their shape whilst cooking).
- In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. When hot, gently add your meatballs and brown on all sides.
- When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven (180°C or 160°C fan) and cook for a further 30 minutes.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE SWEDISH CREAM SAUCE
- In frying pan, melt 40g of butter. Whisk in 40g of plain flour and continue cooking, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook through.
- Add 150ml of vegetable stock and 150ml of beef stock and continue to stir.
- Add 150ml thick double cream, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Continue to stir.
SERVING
