Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • ½ medium onion, finely minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup lingonberry jam or jam (optional, for serving)
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix ground pork, minced onion, flour, 1 egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined. Shape into 12 small patties, each about the size of a golf ball, then flatten slightly.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Working in batches, place frikadeller in the pan without crowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Don't flip until the crust forms.

  4. 4

    Transfer cooked frikadeller to a plate. Quickly toss cucumber slices with a pinch of salt and white vinegar in a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Arrange frikadeller on a serving platter. Top or serve alongside lingonberry jam and pickled cucumber slices.
