Directions
Danish Meatballs
or known as Frikadeller is one of the most popular dish in Denmark. There are many recipe of Frikadeller you may find in internet, considering this dish inherited from generation to generation. Luckily, I got this recipe also straight from a Danish neighbor that I met in summer holiday. I love to enjoy this meatballs with some boiled potatoes and brown gravy.
Note:
- Adjust the milk when you make the meatball mixture. It should be very moist, but not dripping.
- Chill the meatball mixture for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator, to make the meatballs easier to form (but I did’nt do it)
- Dip the spoon in water before you form a meatball (this will make the meatball easier to form because the meat won’t stick to the spoon).
