German mixed ground meat basic recipe
|
This basic recipe is for german Frikadellen
, Fleischküchlein, Hackbraten (german meatloaf), Königsberger Klöpse,
Fleischknödel (german meatballs) or filled bell peppers.
Ingredients:
450 g / 1 lbs ground lean beef (or mixed 50/50 ground lean beef with ground lean
pork or ground turkey, or substitute all the beef with ground turkey)
1 day old Kaiser roll (or 1 1/2 day old hamburger roll or 3-4 slices of day old toast)
Water to soak in
1 egg
1 small or 1/2 large onion
1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt, pepper
Thyme, basil, marjoram
bread crumbs
Preparation
Soak the day old Kaiser roll in little warm water. Grate the onion using a box
grater.
Place the ground meat in a bowl, add the grated onion, herbs,
chopped parsley, salt, pepper, egg and the soaked Kaiser roll (squeezing out
excess water before adding to the ground meat).
Mix everything
kneading well with your hands. If mixture appears to moist add a couple of
tablespoons of dried bread crumbs.
Tip: you can substitute the day old
bun with only bread crumbs if time is short; it tastes just as good.
