A delightful twist on traditional German Frikadellen, these meat patties are flavorful and easy to prepare.
Soak the bread slices in water until softened, then squeeze out the excess water.
Using stale bread adds a unique texture and flavor to the patties.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the prepared bread and mix until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into patties about the size of your palm.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley for a fresh touch.
