Ina’s Tip

Mix ½ t (2,5 ml) bicarbonate of soda with 1 T (15 ml) of water and add it to the mince mixture. The bicarb raises the pH of the mixture and makes the meatballs soft and moist.

Method:

Adjust oven rack to middle position.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Pour the milk over the bread and leave to soak.

Foam the butter in a frying pan, add the diced bacon and stir-fry until the bacon is crispy.

Spoon bacon out with a slotted spoon.

Add onion to the bacon fat in the pan together with Green Onion Seasoning.

Sauté the onion until soft.

Add garlic and sauté ± 1 minute.

Add undiluted Beef Stock, stir through, remove from heat and allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly, add the mince and Seasoning.

Mash the soaked bread with a fork and add.

Add parsley and cooled onion mixture. Roll into balls, ± ¼ cup size.

Sauce

To make the sauce, mix everything together and ladle into 6 individual ovenproof dishes, or one large ovenproof dish.

Arrange the frikkadels in the sauce.

Sprinkle a mixture of grated cheese and breadcrumbs over. Bake for 35 minutes until nicely browned.

Serve with rice and a salad.
