Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup chopped stale bread
- ½ cup milk or water
- 1 tablespoon butter or vegan/dairy-free butter
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion finely diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground pork or ground beef for a pork-free option
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ - 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon dried marjoram optional, recommended
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado oil for cooking
Instructions
- Add the milk and chopped bread to a bowl. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, add some butter to a pan and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until the onion is soft.
- Now drain the milk and remove excess moisture from the bread using a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Add all ingredients, except for the vegetable oil, to a mixing bowl and thoroughly knead everything with your hands.
- Roll the meat mixture into balls and flatten them with your hands.
- Preheat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Then sear and cook the Frikadellen from both sides for around 15 minutes (7-8 minutes for each side) over medium heat until they are cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed so the Frikadellen don't burn. Enjoy!
