Frikadelle Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Frikadelle

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Frikadelle

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Make the Mushroom Gravy

    In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms. Sauté until soft. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to combine. Gradually add beef broth while stirring, cooking until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Red Cabbage

    In a separate pan, add shredded red cabbage and vinegar. Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until tender.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a pot, bring water to a boil, add cubed potatoes, and cook until tender. Drain and then fry in a skillet with oil until crispy and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the frikadelle with mushroom gravy on top, side with red cabbage, and fried potatoes.
