Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 2 slices Gluten-free bread
• 60 milliliters Milk
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the gluten-free bread slices in milk until softened, about 5 minutes. Once softened, gently squeeze out any excess milk and crumble the bread into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and parsley. Add them to the mixing bowl along with the soaked bread.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, black pepper, and gluten-free breadcrumbs to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the Frikadellen tender.

Step 5

Divide the meat mixture evenly into 8 portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 2 cm thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry the Frikadellen for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 70°C/160°F).

Step 8

Remove the cooked Frikadellen from the skillet and let them rest on a plate lined with paper towels for a minute or two.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a green salad. Enjoy!
