Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 1 bread roll (from the previous day) or 4-5 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1 Onion
  • 500 g mixed minced meat
  • 1 Egg (Gr. M)
  • 2 TEASPOONS medium hot mustard
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the rolls in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. It should be completely covered with water. Place a small plate on the roll to weigh it down. Then take the roll out of the bowl and squeeze it very well with your hands.

  2. 2

    Peel onion and chop very finely. Put it together with minced meat, egg and mustard in a large bowl. Season well with 1-2 tsp salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Pluck the softened bread roll with your fingers and add it to the mince. This makes it much easier to mix with all the other ingredients.

  4. 4

    Knead the minced meat well with your hands or with the dough hooks of the mixer. Season again with salt and pepper. (Don't worry: The mince is fresh. Nothing will happen to you if you eat it raw).

  5. 5

    Form 8-10 meatballs with moistened hands. Important: Place a bowl of cold water next to the meatballs and moisten your hands repeatedly. This way the mince will not stick to it.

  6. 6

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the meatballs for 6-8 minutes at medium heat until crispy. As soon as the underside is golden brown, turn the meatballs with a spatula and spoon.

  7. 7

    Fry in the same way on the second side.
