uNcinci’s frikkadels

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

1 kg lean beef mince
1 thick slice bread soaked in 4 T milk
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 potato, washed and grated
1 carrot, washed and grated
2 free-range eggs
2 T Woolworths steak rub
10 g Italian parsley, roughly chopped
1 lemon, zested
¼ cup vegetable oil, for frying

Cooking Instructions

1. Smash all the ingredients except the oil together in a bowl and roll into oblong or round shapes, whichever you prefer.

2. Heat a pan and add the vegetable oil. Fry the meatballs in batches until brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Cook's note: This recipe was passed down by word of mouth and I hope that if uNcinci sees this, she will be proud of how well I remembered it. My aunts coat the frikkadels in a bit of flour to prevent sticking but it’s not essential. It makes tremendously good burger patties.
