   Then the meatballs go into the oven for half an hour at 160 °C fan oven or at 180 °C conventional (top/bottom heat).
5. 5.
   Place the Köttbullar on a paper towel to soak up the excess fat.

Sauce:

2. 7.
   Then pour in the cream and stock, season with mustard and soy sauce, and let it simmer until the sauce has thickened.
3. 8.
   Serve the Köttbullar and sauce together with lingonberries, mashed potatoes or fries.
