What is IKEA Swedish meatballs?
IKEA Swedish meatballs are small, round meatballs made in the Swedish style and sold under the IKEA name. They’re served in IKEA restaurants and can also be heated at home for a convenient main meal. The browned outside gives way to a tender, savoury centre. In Sweden, they’re commonly paired with creamy brown gravy, mashed potatoes and tart-sweet lingonberry jam; IKEA diners around the world often know them in the same combination. At home, serve them with mash or roasted potatoes and a spoonful of berry preserve, or add vegetables for a fresher plate.
