Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, red chili flakes, dill, allspice, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 4 cm in diameter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, frying until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside on a baking sheet.
- Pour the beef broth into the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the fried meatballs back into the pan and cover, cooking for an additional 10 minutes until fully cooked through and flavors meld.
- Stir in sour cream to create a creamy sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Meanwhile, warm the flatbread in a separate pan or oven until pliable, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- To plate, arrange the meatballs on the flatbread, spoon over some sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pickles or lingonberry jam on the side.

Notes

If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili flakes or omit them altogether.
For an extra touch of freshness, consider adding thinly sliced cucumbers or a simple mixed salad as part of your sides.
Leftover meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave until warmed through. Enjoy the cooking process!
