It is wonderful to experience memories through food, says Mathias Pilblad, and it is also wonderful to pass them on, which is why this recipe is so special to me. These meatballs – exactly like the ones my grandmother used to make – have a rougher structure than most of those I make and serve today. I hope you agree they are particularly nice. A couple of cooked, peeled potatoes are always a welcome accompaniment if you’re hungry.

Ingredients: makes about 42 balls
