Swedish Meatballs

Juicy meatballs smothered in a beautiful creamy gravy, with a hint of spicing that Swedish Meatballs are known for. I deviate from the traditional recipe by using my method of soaking chopped bread in grated onion which adds more flavour and makes extra soft meatballs.

Ingredients for 5 servings

Meatballs
2 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed, chopped into small cubes (Note 2)
1 medium onion (Note 3)

1 tbsp oil
