Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef thoroughly.
Add the finely chopped onion to the meat mixture.
Stir in the gluten-free breadcrumbs, and ensure they are well combined with the meat.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the meat mixture and knead everything together until you have a uniform mixture.
Shape the mixture into small, flat oval patties (roughly the size of your palm).
Over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan.
Place the meatballs in the pan without overcrowding and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the frikadeller from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as boiled potatoes, a mixed salad, or pickled beets.
