Bitterballen are a traditional Dutch snack, often enjoyed as a savory appetizer or pub food. These bite-sized, golden-brown croquettes are made by coating a thick, roux-based filling of shredded beef or veal with breadcrumbs and deep-frying until crisp. The filling is typically seasoned with spices like nutmeg and cloves, creating a rich and flavorful center. Bitterballen trace their origins to the Netherlands and are commonly served with mustard for dipping. While they are a delicious treat, their deep-fried preparation makes them high in fat and calories, and the creamy roux contributes additional carbohydrates. On the bright side, the protein content from the meat offers some nutritional value. Bitterballen are best enjoyed in moderation as part of an indulgent snack or alongside a balanced meal.
