Calling For IKEA Swedish Meatball Lovers!
I wonder how many of you guys out there are IKEA Swedish meatball lovers. I personally love IKEA Swedis meatballs a lot. They are delicious. We can eat the meatballs alone, or we can have them together with other main dishes. They tastes especially great together with the the gravy and lingonberry preserves.
I have a question here. I know that IKEA do not provide take-away service. However, anyone try buying the meatballs from counter then keeping them in your own container or tupperware and bringing home before? Or bringing container straight to the counter, requesting the food to be served inside it? Sometimes, I may want to bring the meatballs home for family members, or even myself.
I found the recipe of IKEA Swedish meatballs from this website:
Ingredients
* 1 small onion, finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 2/3 lb lean ground beef
* 1/3 lb ground lean pork
* 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
* 1 cup milk
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
* 1 (10 ounce) can beef gravy
* 1/2 cup 10% cream1. Saute onions in first tablespoon of oil until translucent. Set aside and let cool.
2. Combine breadcrumbs and milk, let soak for 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine onions, breadcrumbs, milk egg, meat and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Form tablespoon of the meat mixture into balls.
4. Over medium heat, fry meatballs in second tablespoon of oil until brown on all sides.
5. In a small saucepan, combine gravy and cream; heat through but do not boil.
6. Serve meatballs with gravy, boiled potatoes and lingonberry preserves.
Enjoy!

I think Ikea has takeaways. I have seen people having takeaways.
They will put it in containers for you. Not sure if they charge extra for it though.

I just went to Ikea today and had their delicious meatballs. When I was leaving, I saw that they were selling frozen bags of meatballs, jars of lingonberry jam and packets of gravy. MMMMMM…

Britanny,
Really? Where are you staying? I don’t think I ever seen such package available in Singapore. It will be great if there is.

Britanny is right. You can get 1KG frozen packs, gravy powder and lingonberry jam from Ikea. In Singapore it is beside where they sell the hotdogs takeaways and stuff.

your local IKEA retailer should sell these frozen at its ‘market place’ department. you can also get other good eats there too. IKEA coffee is great, too, and reasonably priced.
