Swedish meatballs with dill, served over celery and spinach rice

Swedish meatballs, or köttbullar, have been a staple in Swedish homes for generations. Traditionally made with beef and pork, breadcrumbs, cream and a pinch of allspice, they’re usually served with a generous helping of rich, creamy gravy. This recipe replaces the traditional gravy with fresh dill, adding a delicate, herby flavour that balances the richness of the meatballs and makes the dish a lighter option for summer. Served over fluffy celery and spinach rice, it stretches easily to feed a family of four.
