Ingredients

500 g of minced beef
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 eggs
2 small onions, cut into tiny pieces
2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
2 tablespoons of gravy powder
3 tablespoons of plain flour
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Start by combining the minced beef, eggs, onions, garlic and gravy powder in a large bowl and mix together well until evenly blended.
Next, add the plain flour to the bowl and mix again until the ingredients are well combined.
Now it’s time to shape the Frikadellen! Take a handful of the mixture and roll it between your palms until it’s formed a patty shape. Continue this with the remaining mixture, until all of the Frikadellen are formed.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the Frikadellen in the pan and fry them on each side for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to jokingly say to the kids “Frikadellen don’t fry themselves, you know” as you turn them.
Finally, season each side of the Frikadellen with freshly ground black pepper, and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy!

Recommended Sides

Frikadellen are delicious on their own or served with your favourite sides. Some ideas include roast potatoes and brussel sprouts, steamed broccoli and carrot mash, or even a simple green salad. No matter what sides you choose, your family will love this great German classic.

Happy cooking!
