Danish Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground veal
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup milk, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup finely grated onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup seltzer water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup margarine
Instructions
1
Combine veal and pork in a bowl, blending them until they are thoroughly incorporated. Add milk, onion, and egg to the mixture, stirring until these ingredients are fully assimilated. Incorporate bread crumbs into the blend, followed by flour, to create a cohesive mixture. Gradually add seltzer water, salt, and pepper until the entire mixture is well combined, resulting in a moist yet solid consistency. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
2
Shape the meat mixture into oval-shaped meatballs approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons in size, with a slightly flattened profile. Repeat this process to create the remaining meatballs.
3
Heat margarine in a large skillet over medium heat, then carefully place the meatballs into the hot skillet. Cook the meatballs until they are no longer pink in the center and have developed a rich, golden-brown exterior, about 15 minutes per side. To ensure the meatballs have reached a safe internal temperature, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center and verify that it reaches at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
