Part 6/7:
Lower the heat and gradually stir in the heavy cream and sour cream, ensuring it doesn’t curdle by tempering it with a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce first. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adjusting the spices as needed. Let the sauce simmer on low.
Serving the Dish
When the meatballs are fully cooked, gently add them into the sauce, allowing them to simmer for another 7-12 minutes so they absorb the flavors. Serve your Swedish meatballs over egg noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes.
Accompaniments
A traditional side for Swedish meatballs is lingonberry jam, which adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the rich flavors of the dish. This can elevate the entire experience, marrying well with the savory elements.
