Ingredients

Ground beef
1 pound (450g)
Onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Egg
1, beaten
Milk
1/4 cup
Bread crumbs
1/2 cup
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Chutney
1 cup
Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, milk, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them in a greased baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the chutney and Worcestershire sauce until well blended. Pour the chutney mixture evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Let the Frikkadels rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a main dish or a flavorful appetizer!

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or coriander for added flavor.
  • 💡 For a spicier kick, mix in some chili flakes or chopped jalapeños into the meatball mixture.
  • 💡 If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the bread crumbs with gluten-free oats or almond flour.
