Frigadellan German Meatballs Food

AUTHENTIC FRIKADELLEN (GERMAN MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• In a bowl of water soak the bread roll/bun.
• In about 20 minutes squeeze out all the water and crumble in a mixing bowl.
• While the bread is soaking heat the 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan over medium heat and saute the onions until they soften. Set aside to cool them down.
• Add the chopped parsley to the crumbled roll, add the cooled softened onions, add the ground meat, the egg, the mustard, salt and pepper, paprika and marjoram and mix well.
• Shape into large patties or smaller bite-sized meatballs.
• Heat the cooking oil in a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties or meatballs and quickly turn them, then reduce the heat to medium and fry until cooked, turning once. For larger patties allow 4-5 minutes per side, for smaller meatballs about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on their size.
• Serve with the radishes, mustard and Schnitlauchbrot.
• Butter the slices of bread.
• On a plate spread the finely chopped chives and press each buttered bread slice onto them, face down, so that the chives stick to the buttered surface.
• You now have small open-faced chives sandwiches. Carefully slice in half and serve.
• Clean the red radishes thoroughly and slice thin.
• Peel the daikon and using a spiralizer or a potato peeler create thin spirals or shavings. Flavor with a few grains of sea salt and sprinkle with chives.
