Frikadeller

Frikadeller are flat pan fried dumplings made with a mixture of veal and pork mince. It is the Danish version of meatballs and I grew up eating them. They are ideal as a snack and served cold with a salad. My favourite way is with fresh potatoes brown sauce, red cabbage and red currant jelly. This is the recipe I use all the time.


Ingredients serve 8

500 g veal mince
500 g. pork mince
3 eggs
1 small onion (150g)
500 g plain flour
2 teaspoon 20 g salt
1 teaspoon 10 g pepper
650 ml milk

Method

Mix veal and pork mince in a bowl with eggs, milk, diced onions, salt and pepper.
Add flour to make an even paste and mix well.
Melt butter in a frying pan and dip a spoon in the melted butter before scooping mixture on to the frying pan.
Turn Frikadeller with a fork when they are cooked on one side and cook the other side. They will be lovely and crunchy.
Serve with potato, cauliflower, carrots white sauce and red cabbage.

Note: They are also excellent for buffet food and stores fine in freezer.

  1. So morish! Cooked a batch Sunday night. The recipe makes about 72 of the size I like. Three of us had Sunday dinner. The two kids raved. I took some to work as did one of the kids (to school). She also had some when she got home, and then again for dinner with her brother.
    There were none left for me, so....had to go back to the shops to get the mince for another half batch.
    I think boiled potatoes are a great accompaniment, plus whatever other vegetables you like....and the redcurrant jelly.
