Kåldolmar (meat stuffed cabbage rolls)
Budget: £

Another hot dish in the Christmas dinner is called kåldolmar, which is a cabbage rolls filled with meat. I bought them ready-made in supermarket freezer, not expensive but they need to be cooked before serving. Cook them in a saucepan with a little oil, turning it regularly and use medium heat to cook, they will be ready in about 15 min. They actually taste much better than it looks!

Meatballs (köttnullar) and small sausages (prinskorv)
Budget: £

I’ve skipped the second course of the Swedish Christmas dinner because it’s only a selection of cold sliced meats like turkey, roast beef, and Christmas ham (julskinka), nothing much special about it.

Now we go onto the third course of hot dishes, which consists of the famous Swedish meatballs and sausages. They can easily be found in supermarket at cheap price and big pack that can last for a long time in your freezer. They are easy to cook, just put them into a saucepan until hot, or add three or four into your pasta or instant noodle. Good cheap, easy to cook processed meat!
