Finnish meatballs (Lihapullat)

(Finnish meatballs)

The crispy, golden Finnish meatballs are traditionally made with beef, with the occasional addition of ground pork. The meat is frequently seasoned with allspice and combined with a mixture of breadcrumbs, eggs, and onions. Although they appear in numerous varieties throughout the country, Finnish meatballs are usually round and small in size, with a light, airy texture.


Typically consumed as the main course doused in a creamy brown sauce, they can also be enjoyed as a light cocktail snack.
