Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, and egg.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, marjoram, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with clean hands or a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the Frikadellen for approximately 6–8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F).
Remove from skillet and allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of low-carb vegetables, like sautéed cabbage or cauliflower mash, for a complete meal.
