Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic.
In a frying pan over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter and sauté the onions and garlic until soft and translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Add the eggs, almond flour, dijon mustard, chopped parsley, paprika powder, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Once the sautéed onions and garlic are slightly cool, add them to the bowl with the meat mixture.
Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 8-10 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. You should get about 8 Frikadellen.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Place the Frikadellen into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked Frikadellen from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or mashed cauliflower.
