Swedish Bean Balls with Lingonberry Gravy
Calories:
Ingredients
For the Swedish bean balls
- 230 g cooked cannellini beans ~1 cup
- 1 slice large wholemeal bread stale is fine, torn into chunks
- 1 fairly small onion cut into chunks
- Small handful fresh dill
- Salt
- Black pepper
For the lingonberry gravy
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 250 ml vegetable stock ~1 cup
- 2 tbsp single cream
- 1 tbsp lingonberry jam or similar fruit jam / jelly
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Add the ingredients for the bean balls (cannellini beans to black pepper) to a food processor, and process until a paste is formed.
- With clean hands, roll the mixture into balls (I made 12), and place on a lined baking tray. If the mixture is too sticky to roll easily, just add a few more breadcrumbs, mix well, and try again.
- Bake the bean balls for around 30 minutes, or until firm and slightly crispy.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan, and add the flour. Cook over a medium-low heat for a minute or two, stirring constantly, then add the vegetable stock a little at a time, stirring until smooth each time before adding more. Add the cream and jam, and mix until combined. Season to taste, and serve with the bean balls and mashed potato.
