Recipe with video - The classic Danish dish that has roots in Italy and Germany. It is almost unknown outside Denmark, but here at home we cannot live without it.
I am not entirely sure where my recipe comes from. It gets lost somewhere in my childhood and years of experimenting.
The only slightly unusual thing about my recipe is that I use a stock cube. Some recipes recommend using bouillon/stock, others use milk, and others just water. I tried making it with stock from a cube. That was good too. But I found that the combination of milk and a cube gave the best result.
Ingredients
- 500 g minced pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 dl milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 stock cube or 1 tbsp chicken powder (optional)
- 1/2 tbsp salt (only 1 tsp if you use a stock cube)
- 1 pinch of pepper
- tun set - almost sacrilege, but boosts the flavor by 50%
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
Directions
