No trip to IKEA is complete without lining up to get a plate of their delicious Swedish Meatballs. But with the iconic retailer closed for in-store business thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the Scandinavian company is looking to bring a little comfort food to those social distancing at home by releasing their famous meatball recipe.
Joining a growing list of businesses and companies sharing beloved recipes with fans, IKEA UK and Ireland shared the recipe for their famous Swedish Meatballs, using an “at-home alternative” with readily accessible ingredients.
“We know that some people might be missing our meatballs, which is why we’ve released an at-home alternative which, using easily accessible ingredients, will help those looking for some inspiration in the kitchen,” said Lorena Lourido, the country food manager at IKEA UK and Ireland. “Staying at home can be hard, but we want to help make everyone’s lives that little bit easier and more enjoyable.”Missing your IKEA meatball fix?

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 while cooking). 5. In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. When hot, gently add your meatballs and brown on all sides. 6. When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven (325 degrees F) and cook for a further 30 minutes.

Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Continue to stir.
