Danish Meatballs (Frikadeller)
- 1 pound Fresh Ground, Unseasoned Pork
- 1 Small Onion, Finely Diced
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
- 1/4 cups Flour, Plus A Little Extra To Mix With Water For Thickening The Gravy
- 1/4 cups Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Margarine (or A Combination Of Olive Oil And Butter)
- 1 dash Browning Agent, For The Gravy
- Mix meat, onion, eggs and salt and pepper together (use a stand mixer if possible).
- Add the flour, mix together, and then add milk until all the milk is incorporated.
- The mixture should not be stiff but instead should have the consistency of a firm custard.
- Brown the margarine (or use a combo of olive oil and butter) in a skillet and form meatballs with the use of a soup spoon against the inside of the bowl, with the bowl tipped slightly and spoon dipped into the browned margarine.
- Form into slightly oblong balls approximately 7x5 cm (2x3 inches).
- (You can also use wet hands to form the meatballs.)
- Brown on both sides, and continue cooking till done, approximately 10 minutes, turning from time to time to cook evenly.
- Remove to a warming dish and make gravy from the fond left in the pan.
- Deglaze with a little water (if making potatoes with this dish, use the potato water) then add a little flour and water mixed together and cook until thickened.
- Add a little browning agent to make a nice brown gravy.
- Note: To check seasonings, dip out a small spoonful of the meat mixture and fry up to taste.
- At this point, you can add more salt and pepper if needed.
