NOTES
1. - Minced meat
Ground beef - Ground Pork The somewhat fattier pork gives the frikandel a somewhat deeper flavor, and the beef is a bit spicier and contains less fat. Be sure to buy unseasoned ground beef.
Minced chicken - You can make this yourself from the chicken breast fillet, but I make it easy for myself and buy unseasoned minced meat, we add enough herbs to the frikandel.
2. - Allspice
It is a spice that comes from Jamaica and it tastes a bit like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Allspice is available at stores like Amazon. If you really can't get it, you can replace it with ⅓ teaspoon nutmeg, ⅓ teaspoon cinnamon, and ⅓ teaspoon cloves (but I advise you to go for the real spice).
3. - Plastic foil
Cooking the sausage in plastic wrap will help it keep its shape.
4. - Serve with
- Serve the frikandellen, together with other Dutch snacks like the kaassoufflé, kroketten and french fries, mayonnaise, curry, and ketchup as a delicious fast food dinner.
- Cut open the frikandel and put mayonnaise and curry ketchup in it and sprinkle finely chopped raw onion on top. A delicious Dutch frikandel speciaal.
- Frikandel bun - Since a few years a frikandel broodje (frikandel bun) is really popular in the Netherlands. It's a bread roll (or puff pastry roll), filled with a frikandel and curry ketchup sauce) and then baked in the oven. It's a snack that's much eaten by students during lunchtime.
- Refrigerator - The cooked sausages can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Then they only need to be fried.
- Freezer - Pack them in a freezer bag or box and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. If you want to be able to pack them separately, first freeze them on a baking tray (separately from each other) and only then put them in a freezer box or bag. Let them thaw in the refrigerator.
- Heating up - Fry the frikandellen for 3 minutes in the deep fryer.
