Refrigerate the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling to prevent them from falling apart during browning and ensure they hold their shape perfectly.

Sear meatballs in batches over medium-high heat without moving them for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a flavorful golden crust that adds richness to your gravy.

Toast the allspice and nutmeg lightly in the butter before adding flour to unlock their warm, complex aromatics and intensify the Swedish flavor profile.
