Frikadellen

Frikadellen

Total Time: 45 minutes Yield: approximately 4 servings

Ingredients

4 slices white bread

1 pound 80/20 ground beef – you can use 1/2 beef and 1/2 pork if you prefer

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 ½ teaspoons beef bouillon granules

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

2 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

oil for frying

Directions

Soak the bread in a bowl of milk or water for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes drain the liquid and squeeze out the excess water out of the bread. Put the bread into a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. I use a wooden spoon but sometimes find that using my hands is much easier. Shape into patties that are about the size of the palm of your hand. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and fry the patties until nicely browned and no longer pink on the inside. I have a Blackstone griddle that I like to use for these. It helps to get a nicely browned crunchy crust.
