Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 125 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, and almond milk to the meat mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Ensure all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, flattening them slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to do this in batches.
Cook the frikadeller for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are well-browned and cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the dairy-free frikadeller warm with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
