Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Allspice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Allow the mixture to soak for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs are soft and have absorbed the milk.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, flattening slightly to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the patties in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through to an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F). Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while frying the remaining batch.
Serve the Malda Fläskbiffar warm, accompanied by mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and a simple green salad for a traditional Swedish meal.
