👨🍳 Instructions:
-
Brown the Butter: In a fry pan, heat the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown, infusing it with a rich nutty flavor. Be careful not to burn it.
-
Shape the Patties: While the butter is browning, prepare the meat mixture by shaping it into oval patties, approximately 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. To achieve uniform patties, use two wet spoons to shape the mixture evenly.
-
Fry the Patties: Once the butter is browned, carefully place the patties in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry each side for about 5 minutes or until they develop a deep golden brown color and are cooked through.
-
Ensure Even Browning: To ensure uniform browning, gently shake the pan occasionally to move the patties around, allowing them to brown evenly on all sides.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the patties to a serving platter and serve hot. These Danish “Frikadeller” Meat Patties pair wonderfully with traditional accompaniments such as creamy mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and pickled cucumbers.
Indulge in the comforting flavors of Danish cuisine with these delightful meat patties, perfect for a cozy weeknight meal or a festive potluck gathering. Bon appétit! 🇩🇰🍽️
