(a.k.a. Danish meat balls)
The Recipe
1dl oatmeal
150g water
1 egg
500g pork/veal mince
2-3 medium sized carrots
4 small pickles/cornichons (or 1 large dill pickle)
1 onion
Mustard (optional)
salt, pepper
Any herbs that might strike your fancy - dill, thyme, oregano, rosemary ...
Mix oatmeal and water together in a large bowl and leave it to soak for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop up onion, carrots and pickles finely - I used a blender, but you could also use a grater. Add the vegetables, egg and mince to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mix into meatballs - get your hands dirty, it's easier that way. I made mine of about 2tbsp mince each.
Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the meatballs for 5-6 minutes on each side or until done.
Serve with cold potato salad mixed with some chopped up apple.
The Verdict
There are as many recipes for frikadeller as there are households in Denmark :-P This is my version - I love the addition of minced carrots and pickles.
