Danish-Inspired Meatballs (Denmark)
My version inspired by Frikadeller
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground veal
1 large onion, finely minced
1 stalk celery, finely minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leave
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp red wine
breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ounce butter
Directions
To make the meatballs, mix together the onion, meat, thyme, breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl, and season well. Using a dessertspoon and one hand dipped in cold water (to stop it sticking), shape about 20 slightly oval balls out of the meat mixture. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes, or overnight if time permits.
Preheat the oven to 350°F Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs, in batches if necessary, and brown until golden all over. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and place in the oven for 10 minutes until cooked through.
Brown the meat balls in the 3 tablespoons of butter. When well browned, add beer and lemon juice. Cover and let simmer 30 minutes.
Serve with buttered noodles sprinkled with toasted crumbs.
