Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, and egg.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, marjoram, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with clean hands or a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Step 5
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the Frikadellen for approximately 6–8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F).
Step 8
Remove from skillet and allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with a side of low-carb vegetables, like sautéed cabbage or cauliflower mash, for a complete meal.
