Frikadeller · Aarhus
Danish pork and veal meatballs, shaped by hand into an oval and fried in butter until golden and cooked through. Served with boiled or caramelised potatoes, pickled red cabbage and a simple gravy.
Frikadeller have been the Danish home-cooking centrepiece since at least the 18th century, with the first published recipe appearing in Madam Mangor's 1837 Kogebog for Smaa Husholdninger. The pork-and-veal combination is specific to Denmark; the oval hand-shape is the test of technique. Every Danish grandmother has a recipe she considers the definitive one.
