Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 100 grams plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 pieces egg
- 50 grams oat flour
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, ground pork, Greek yogurt, and eggs. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
Add the oat flour, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, each about the size of your palm. Aim for 8-10 medium-sized Frikadellen.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Frikadellen to the pan, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.
Cook the Frikadellen for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a deep golden-brown crust. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Once browned, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the patties cook for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C).
Remove the cooked Frikadellen from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with traditional sides like mustard, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
