Fried meatballs Köttbullar IKEA with cream sauce
There is not a garlic in them, not even a pinch of marjoram, but the taste has attracted attention everywhere where Ingvar Kamprad has joined - the owner of a huge business under the name IKEA. |
After much experimentation, we bring a recipe for traditional balls, which we know from the store IKEA. This recipe has been translated from the Swedish website and weight ratios were adjusted to our used grams and milliliters. There are lot of recipies for these meatballs, but in our opinion, this recipe is very close to those of the original, and so much that you do not know the difference.... |
There is not original IKEA meatballs recipe, so don´t look for it. It is produced by several manufacturers and original recipe is a secret. Even one of the producers added to the meatballs soya, but he somehow failed to mention it among the ingredients on the packaging.

videoHomemade pork ham without emulsifier
In this video recipe you learn how to easily make homemade ham with 99% meat content. For a low salt content and the absence of many chemicals is compared to manufactured ham suitable for childeren. It is not only excellent, but you'll know exactly what it contains. It is really worth to try it. |
The only chemical that must be used is sodium nitrite. Without it, it would be just a piece of boiled meat, but still compared to manufactured ham it is much healthier, moreover, there are no strange color stabilizers etc.. Specifically, in this recipe, in 1 kg of ham there is only 0.075 g of sodium nitrite. Anyone who has ever eaten any sausages, already ingested nitrite in multiple quantities, so there's no need to worry. |
In the recipe ham contains as much salt as bought one. So if you do not like much salt, use less of curring salt - 20 g per kilogram of meat. |
This ham can not be stored as long as bought one. We recommend to use it up to 3 days or freeze it. It is also possible to use different containers with the possibility of vacuum - the suction air. |
This salt mixture cannot be used directly for flavoring meals.

videoQuick vanilla muffins
Muffins are a favorite delicacy not just for children. In stores, however, they tend to be quite expensive and mostly full of additives and emulsifiers. At home, you prepare them for a while, and for a few bucks. |Beware of some kinds of paper cups! They must be placed in a silicone or metal muffin tray because the heat deforms them. |If you have this kind of paper cups but don´t have a muffin tray, then use a simple trick. Put them on a normal baking tray close to each other, and thus they can not spill. For this you can use small baking bowl or porcelain pot. |The more the dough is thicker, the less they rise during baking and vice versa.
