Frikadeller
Tender Danish pork and veal patties with browned butter edges and a bright parsley finish.
Ingredients
- 300 g Ground Pork
- 150 g Ground Veal
- 1 pcs Onion
- 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
- 1 pcs Egg
- 75 ml Milk
- 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.5 tsp White Pepper
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 8 tbsp Parsley
- 100 g Pickled Beetroot
- 4 pcs Rye Bread
Method
- Finely grate {onion} into a large bowl so it melts into the farce and keeps the patties tender.
- Add {ground_pork}, {ground_veal}, {all_purpose_flour}, {egg}, {milk}, {kosher_salt}, and {white_pepper} to the bowl with {onion}. Mix gently until pale and sticky, then stop so the farce stays soft rather than tight.
- Cover the bowl and chill the farce until slightly firmer and easier to shape; this rest helps the proteins hydrate for a more tender bite.
- Finely chop {parsley} for a fresh finish that cuts the richness of the browned meat.
- Heat {butter} in a large skillet over medium heat until foaming. Scoop and flatten the chilled farce into oval patties with a wet spoon, season the surface lightly with {kosher_salt}, and fry without crowding for several minutes per side until deeply golden at the edges and the centers reach a safe temperature.
- Transfer the frikadeller to a warm plate and rest briefly so the juices settle and the texture stays tender.
- Serve the frikadeller hot with a shower of {parsley}. Add {pickled_beetroot} and {rye_bread} alongside if using for sweet-sour contrast and texture.
