"Frikadeller"
- med kartofler - sovs og surt!
1. Mix the mince
meat well together with the onion - flour
or oats or breadcrumbs.
2. Then mix with the eggs. Mix spices - allspice
powder - and milk together - add little by
little to the meat.
3. The mixture gets better the more you mix
the ingredients. It is best if you leave the
mixture to rest at least an hour in the fridge
- before you mix it again and use it.
4. The raw mixture should be used the same
day as it is mixed.
5. Heat the pan.
6. Melt the margarine. Dip a tablespoon in
the melted margarine.
7. Shape the meatballs with the tablespoon
(take a tablespoonfull of the mixture and
smoothen against the wall of the bowl it is
in) and put the meatball in the margarine
on the pan to fry.
8. When all the meatballs are shaped - fry
them at high temperature on both sides and
then continue frying them at low heat around
5 minutes on each side.

Danish Brown Creamy Sauce
Stir

and butter smoothly in a saucepan. Then ad
a little bit of milk in together with some
of the remaining frying stock. When the “butterball”
mixture has a silky texture - then ad the
remaining milk and cream - and stir to the
boiling point - as well as adding extra flour
to the sauce if nessasary. Stir constantly.
Cook until preferred thickness and add salt
and pepper. Milk or cream may be used with
extra tablespoons of butter according to your
taste. Use brown sauce colouring to darken
the gravy - and sherry or wine can be added
to flavour the thick brown sauce for your
Danish “Frikadelle” dish.
