Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground beef
• 250 grams ground pork
• 100 grams plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• 2 pieces egg
• 50 grams oat flour
• 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, ground pork, Greek yogurt, and eggs. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

Step 2

Add the oat flour, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Using your hands, shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, each about the size of your palm. Aim for 8-10 medium-sized Frikadellen.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Frikadellen to the pan, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.

Step 5

Cook the Frikadellen for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a deep golden-brown crust. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 6

Once browned, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the patties cook for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C).

Step 7

Remove the cooked Frikadellen from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with traditional sides like mustard, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
