Ingredients
Pork Mince Frikadellen
500 grams ground pork (minced pork) - preferably from a quality butcher
1 whole yellow onion - finely diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
100 grams breadcrumbs - fresh, not packaged
1 whole egg - organic if possible
1 tablespoon parsley - fresh, chopped
1 teaspoon salt - sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - for frying
Mustard Sauce
150 milliliters heavy cream - or creme fraiche
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard - smooth or grainy
1 teaspoon honey - optional, for sweetness
1 teaspoon lemon juice - freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, finely diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the frikadellen tender.
- Shape the mixture into approximately eight even-sized patties, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the frikadellen and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring a juicy interior.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mustard sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, taking care not to let it boil.
- Serve the frikadellen hot, generously drizzled with the mustard sauce. Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh finish.
Notes
For a spicier touch, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the frikadellen mixture. For a lighter option, use turkey mince in place of pork.
