Frikkadel

 Frikkadel is a traditional South African dish made from spiced minced meat formed into small meatballs and then fried. Here's a basic recipe for Frikkadel:


Ingredients:
- 500g minced meat (beef, lamb, or a combination) - 1 onion, finely chopped - 2 slices of bread, soaked in water and squeezed dry - 1 egg - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - 1 teaspoon ground coriander - 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, chopped onion, soaked bread, egg, parsley, ground coriander, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. 2. Take a small handful of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball, shaping it into a meatball. Repeat until all the mixture is used. 3. Heat some cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. 4. Fry the meatballs for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the meatballs. 5. Remove the cooked meatballs from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. 6. Serve the Frikkadel hot as a main dish accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or salad. Feel free to adjust the spices and seasoning according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your Frikkadel!
