Bitterballen 🇳🇱 Ingredients: - 500g beef mince - 1 brown onion, diced - 1.5 tbsp salt, divided - 1 tsp black pepper - 0.5 tsp nutmeg - 120g unsalted butter - 120g flour (for roux) - 700ml beef stock - small handful of parsley, chopped - 200g flour (for coating) - 200g breadcrumbs - 3 eggs, beaten - tallow or oil, for frying Method: 1. In a frying pan, sauté the diced onion with a tablespoon of beef tallow and a big pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef mince, another pinch of salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside. 2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook the roux for 3-4 minutes. Gradually add the beef stock in 2 to 3 additions, whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and smooth. Continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, then pour over the cooked beef and onion mixture. Add the chopped parsley and stir well. 3. Line a tray with greaseproof paper and pour the beef mixture onto it, spreading it out flat. Chill in the freezer for 1 hour or in the fridge overnight until solid. 4. Once set, turn the mixture out of the tray, remove the paper, and cut into 2cm x 2cm cubes. Roll each cube into a ball. Coat each ball first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs. Place on a tray dusted with extra breadcrumbs until ready to fry. 5. Heat tallow or oil to 170°C. Fry the bitterballen for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with mustard. #cooking #holland #food #viral #recipe #fyp
