Home cooks around the world shared their joy yesterday when IKEA shared the secret recipe for its famous meatballs.
The Swedish furniture giant revealed their famous dish is made by mixing pork and beef mince with garlic and onion as they released a recipe card with step-by-step instructions in true IKEA fashion.
Now dozens of food fans have attempted to make the dish – with its accompanying cheese sauce from the comfort of their kitchen.
Dozens of high street favourites, including McDonald’s, Greggs and Pizza Express have shared their top secret recipes so food fans can recreate their popular dishes at home.
The Swedish staple, a popular choice for those visiting the cafe of the furniture giant, is usually served hot, but is also available frozen in the Swedish Food Market.
While all of IKEA’s 22 UK stores shut at the start of the lockdown, some of their food markets have re-opened to key workers, vulnerable customers and co-workers, giving them the opportunity to purchase essential food items.
The car parks of its Wembley and Gateshead stores have transformed into drive-through testing centres for NHS staff.
