FRIKADELLER (DANISH MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• Mix the veal and pork together in a bowl, and stir in the milk, onion, and egg. Mix the bread crumbs into the meat. Sprinkle in the flour, and knead well to mix. Stir in the seltzer water, season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix well. The mixture should be very moist, but not dripping.
• Chill the meat mixture for 15 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator, to make the meatballs easier to form.
• Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
• To form meatballs, scoop up about 2 1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture with a large spoon, and form the mixture into a slightly flattened, oval meatball about the size of a small egg. Place the meatballs into the heated skillet, and fry for about 15 minutes per side, until the meatballs are well-browned and no longer pink in the center.

FRIKADELLEN RECIPE - MEAT BALLS (GERMAN)

Steps:

• Cut the onion into very small cubes. Heat a pan on medium and fry the onions with some oil until they are cooked through and slightly brown.
• Place the roll in a small bowl with water and let soak.
• Meanwhile put the ground beef in a larger bowl, add salt, spices, herbs, mustard, tomato paste and if it matches with the rest of the menu also some garlic. Make sure you use enough salt, it tends to disappear during the cooking process!
• Take the soaked roll and squeeze in our hands to remove most of the water. Then add to the bowl with the ground beef.
• The onions should be ready be now, add them to the bowl.
• Next add the egg.
• Mix everything very well - works best with hands!
• Heat some oil in a large pan.
• Form about 8 Frikadellen / meat balls in about the size of your palm, don't make them flat like a UFO but also not to round.
• Add the Frikadellen / meat balls to the pan and reduce the heat to medium so they won't burn.
• Let fry from both sides for about 10 minutes, test on one Frikadelle / meat ball if it is cooked through.
• Remove the Frikadellen / meat balls from the pan and keep them warm if you plan to make a gravy: Add some beef broth to the empty pan and bring to a boil. The residue in the pan will give a lot of taste. Take some sour cream and add to the pan, decrease the heat and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste
• If you don't feel confident about making the gravy, try "Rahm Soße"! You can buy it i.e. at online German Deli and makes a delicious gravy with just the right consistency.
