What you need
oz ground meat, half pork and half beef
crusty roll, you can use whatever leftover bread you have!
tsp fine sea salt
tsp mustard, or any other mustard of your choice
tsp dried marjoram
tsp paprika, I used half sweet paprika and half half-sharp paprika
tsp chili powder, I used ancho chili powder
tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
garlic clove, minced
frying oil, sunflower seed or avocado oil
Instructions
0 Soak the roll in water for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out all the water. Peel and fine dice the onion, sauté until translucent and lightly browned, then put into a bowl. 1 Add ground meat, spices, chopped parsley, garlic, and egg to the bowl and knead until combined (best to use your hands, but you can also use a fork). 2 Add the drained roll to the meat mixture and knead until combined. 3 Shape your Frikadellen patties and lay them onto a floured surface, so they won’t stick. Heat some oil in a pan or on a griddle over medium-high, then add in enough Frikadellen to cover the pan (see note about Test Frikadelle). 4 Fry for a few minutes without turning until thoroughly browned, turn and repeat, then reduce heat to medium low and continue frying for 10 more minutes or until cooked through. Transfer Frikadellen to a plate lined with paper towel to rest for a few minutes before serving (see note about Leftovers).View original recipe
