What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from a blend of pork and veal. They are typically seasoned and ready to be cooked. The combination of pork and veal offers a balanced flavor profile, with the pork providing richness and the veal contributing a milder, more tender texture. They are a convenient way to enjoy a classic German dish without the need for extensive preparation.
How people cook with it

- Served with mashed potatoes
- In a sandwich
- With a side salad
- As a main course
To prepare these frikadellen, you can pan-fry them in a little oil or butter over medium heat until they are browned on both sides and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They are often served hot, making them a satisfying option for lunch or dinner. The cooking time will vary depending on the method used and the size of the frikadellen.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other types of meatballs or patties, frikadellen often have a flatter, more disc-like shape. The specific blend of meats, pork and veal in this case, also contributes to a distinct flavor and texture that can differ from patties made solely from beef or pork.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful meat option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused frikadellen promptly after opening the package. They should be kept in their original packaging or transferred to an airtight container. Properly stored, they can be kept for a few days in the refrigerator.
