A copycat version of the iconic IKEA Swedish Meatball gravy
Comfort food in a bowl… ‘IKEA’ style Swedish meatballs. Here mine are served with buttery mash & Savoy cabbage. This recipe is my take on the Ikea Style Swedish Meatball creamy gravy/sauce.
⠀
This is super easy and quick to make. It can be served with buttery mash, root mash, cauliflower mash, celeriac mash, new potatoes, wholewheat pasta, or wholegrain rice—just pick the starchy carb that you tolerate the best!
⠀
You can make your own vegan meatballs or cheat by using store-bought vegan Swedish or veggie meatballs. The creamy sauce is super rich and full of natural fat, which helps pair the carbs well.

- Mix the cornflour and cold water together well until the cornflour has dissolved, then pour into the pan and whisk through to stop any lumps forming
