About Gehaktbal

Gehaktbal is a classic Dutch meatball made from a mixture of ground beef and/or pork, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onions, and a blend of spices such as nutmeg and pepper. This hearty dish is often browned in butter and simmered until tender, resulting in a flavorful and juicy centerpiece for meals. Traditionally enjoyed across the Netherlands, Gehaktbal is a staple of Dutch cuisine, frequently served with potatoes, gravy, and vegetables. From a nutritional standpoint, Gehaktbal provides a good source of protein, essential for muscle building and repair. However, its fat content can be high, especially if prepared with pork or cooked in butter. Its healthiness largely depends on portion size and accompanying ingredients. Opting for leaner meats and reducing added fats can make it a more balanced choice. Delicious and comforting, Gehaktbal remains a beloved dish rooted deeply in the country’s culinary heritage.
