A Day at Home | Making Delicious Swedish Meatballs and Mash for Family Dinner

😎Sunday Surprises, and a Creative Twist on Swedish Meatballs and Mash!

🍖Today marks the seventh day since my wife started her Covid quarantine. I've become accustomed to handling the household chores during this time. Since it's Sunday, I thought of making a 👍special dish for my family. I came across a delightful article by @erikah and tried her recipe for Swedish meatballs and mash🥔. The pictures in the article looked mouthwatering, and the ingredients seemed readily available in any supermarket. However, I couldn't find some items, so I decided to get creative and adapt based on the information in her blog.🍖

🍖Preparation for Cooking Meatballs

To start with the meatballs, I mixed them with 1 tablespoon of paprika until each meatball was coated in the redness of the paprika powder. Desiring a bit of sweetness, I added 3 tablespoons of honey. Lacking an oven, I opted for the microwave, setting it to medium heat for around 15 minutes, and adjusting based on the meatball size.

🍖Sauce Meatballs

After cooking the meatballs, I proceeded to make the sauce. I melted 100g of butter in a pan, stirring slowly for 5 minutes. Then, I added tapioca flour, stirring slowly over low heat. Next, I introduced Carnation creamer for a pleasant aroma, along with seasoning and salt for a sweet and salty flavor. The resulting sauce felt light on the palate, and I poured it over the meatballs.

🍖Preparation for Cooking Mash Potatoes

For the mashed potatoes, I ensured the potatoes were cut into small cubes for easy mashing with butter. After adding milk and salt, I adjusted the taste to my liking, whether leaning towards salty or sweet. Just before serving, I added parsley leaves for an extra burst of aroma and delight.

~With everything prepared, the food is now ready to be enjoyed. Bon appétit!~
