German Frikadellen

Step 1

Warm milk for 30 seconds in the microwave. Tear bread into small pieces and then pour the warm milk over them. Allow bread to absorb the milk for 10 minutes and then squeeze out as much of the excess liquid as possible. Discard the milk from this process.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and sauté onion pieces until they become translucent. Add garlic and cook one minute more. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Place onions and garlic in a bowl along with bread, beef, pork, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, yellow mustard, oregano, paprika, ginger, mace, and coriander and stir.

Step 4

Knead mixture until completely blended. Divide into 4 equal parts and shape into balls. Then slightly flatten the frikadellen into patties. Chill patties for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Heat remaining oil and butter in pan over medium-high heat. Fry frikadellen until brown on each side, then reduce heat and cook until internal temperature of at least 160˚ is reached. Total cook time should be about 10 minutes for each side.
