Description
Goldbraune, saftige Frikadellen mit würziger Kruste, zartem Inneren und kräftigem Aroma von Paprika, Kräutern und Röstzwiebeln – perfekt abgerundet durch eine feine Note von Senf und fruchtigem Ketchup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 600 g mixed ground meat
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, or one cup of fried onions
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 3 tablespoons ketchup (curry or tomato ketchup)
- 4 tablespoons warm water
- 3 tablespoons paprika powder
- Some chopped herbs
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and paprika powder. Stir thoroughly until the paprika is completely dissolved in the water.
- Add the mustard, ketchup, and the egg to the bowl with the paprika water mixture. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Finely chop the onion, or if using fried onions, measure out one cup. Add the onions to the bowl.
- Add the ground meat, chopped herbs, and breadcrumbs to the bowl with the liquid mixture.
- Using clean hands, thoroughly knead and mix all ingredients together until the mixture is uniform and all components are evenly distributed. Season generously with salt and pepper according to your taste, and mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
- With damp hands to prevent sticking, portion out the meat mixture and form it into evenly-sized balls or patties, depending on your preference. Aim for a size slightly larger than a golf ball for traditional frikadellen.
- Place each formed frikadelle onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the frikadellen at 200°C (392°F) for 20 to 30 minutes. The exact baking time depends on the size of your frikadellen: smaller ones will be ready closer to 20 minutes, while larger ones may need up to 30 minutes.
- Halfway through baking, you can turn the frikadellen over with a spatula to ensure even browning on both sides, though this step is optional.
- Bake until the frikadellen are nicely browned and crispy on the outside. They can be baked until dark for extra crispiness, but be careful not to burn them.
- Remove the frikadellen from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm as a main dish or as a delicious snack.
Notes
You can substitute the mixed ground meat with ground poultry (such as chicken or turkey) to reduce calories and make a lighter version of frikadellen. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or add a touch of spice to customize the flavor to your liking.
