Use the Meat
Put the thawed meat into a bowl.
Eggs
Take two eggs. Crack them into the bowl and mix it with the meat.
Bread Crumbs
Crumb bread into a small bowl, a deciliter or a cup. Add 1 deciliter or a less than a cup water together with the crumbed bread. Add it to the bowl.
Add All Spices
Next add approximately two regular spoons of all spices. The mesure that is used here is Swedish Tesked (tsk).
The spices from right to left in first picture; Pepper, Ginger, Garlic powder, French herbs, Thyme, Salt and Oregano.
After all spices are added mix them. Take a spoon and taste the result. If it isn't very spicy, add more until you like the taste.

Double Creem

Make Balls
Pick up a piece of the meat. Form balls with cupped hands.
Fry
Pick up a frying pan and additional butter for the frying.
Next take two tools for turning the meatballs. A spoon is also very useful.
Put the heat to one step lower than max, 8 out of 9 on my stove.

Oven Pan
Butter a glass pan or other large pan.
Butter the Frying Pan
Add some butter on to the frying pan. This will prevent the meatballs to stick to the frying pan.
Fry Time
Add some of the meatballs in the frying pan.
Turn them so all sides of the ball will get fried. Be quick, because they will get fried quick and should not be I there for too long.
Bake
When you've fried them just enough, put them into the glass pan.
Add more butter into the frying pan.
Put them I the oven at 175°C (347°F) and bake for 30 minutes.
Meatballs Done
They should look like this when they're done.
Serve
Serve with some potatoes, vegetables, brown sauce, lingonberry sauce, jam. Now it's dinner time. Eat.
