The first time I made this for my family, my daughter asked, "What's the difference between Swedish meatballs and Italian meatballs?" I thought for a few seconds and said, "Italian meatballs taste like summer, and Swedish meatballs taste like winter."
Le Creuset Dutch Oven | Silverware | Wooden Spoon
Obviously this is a gross generalization. For my Italian meatballs, I always use basil in the sauce, and it just tastes like summer. Here, the parsley with the dijon and the nutmeg - man alive, it just feels so winter, to me. Maybe even a little Christmas, I dare say.
Whatever time of year it may be, this dish is comfort in a bowl. Tender meatballs, a rich mushroom gravy, set atop a heaping portion of mashed potatoes. Great for meal prep or week night meals, but special enough to be Sunday dinner as well. This version keeps out the dairy and grain, but has a flavor that will carry you through the coldest of days.
This looks delicious. I'm going to buy your cookbook when you come out with it! :)
Please keep the grain and dairy free recipes coming!! So good and helpful!
