Perhaps the most interesting thing to note about the German patty called Frikadellen is its similarity to the American
Salisbury steak. The Germans are very popular for their love of meat (steaks, to be exact) and bread. Frikadellen is one of the most common German foods being served to German households and even in many
gourmet restaurants elsewhere in Europe and in the United States.
To make your own Frikadellen, you'll need only a few ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp oil, 8 tbls breadcrumbs
1 lb ground pork
2 tsps salt
2 tsps flour
1/2 cup milk
5 tbsps oil
2 tsps basil
2 tsps pepper
3 small onions, diced and sautéed
These ingredients are pretty easy to find from your local grocer. What makes Frikadellen quite unique is the way the ingredients are mixed together to
create that savory taste that Germans adore. Just mix all the ground meats and sauté the diced onions in oil. When it's done, add the onions in the meat mixture. Afterwards, stir your breadcrumbs and milk, along with the basil, salt and pepper in the meat mixture. When this is done, all you have to do now is simply mold the mixture into palm-sized patty. Then fry them until they become golden brown in color.
