Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef.

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and milk.

Crack the egg into the mixture and add the salt, black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and parsley (if using).

Mix everything together until well combined. It’s best to use your hands for mixing to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Shape the Meatballs

With wet hands, shape the mixture into small, round meatballs or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Cook the Frikadeller

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the meatballs or patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them.

Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).

Serve

Remove the frikadeller from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Enjoy your meal!
