Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix all the ingredients, then shape into small balls and place on a lightly oiled baking tray.

”My mom says her mother swore by adding a few whole cloves instead of the ground spice. Once the frikkadels come out of the oven ‘ kraakbruin’ (crispy brown) place them in a covered casserole dish to ‘sweat’ a little before serving.” – Liesl Nicholson
