Buletten, also known as meat Frikadellen, are made of ground meat mixed with softened Brötchen (bread rolls), and are one of Berlin’s favorite dishes.
Ingredients:
- 0.5 kg of ground beef and ground pork, or just ground pork
- 2 stale rolls, sliced or crumbled
- 1 large onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 2 small eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Preparation:
-
Place the crumbled rolls in a bowl and pour in about 1 cup of lukewarm water, cover with a dish cloth. Peel and dice the onion.
-
Knead the ground meat with the eggs, parsley, and the softened bread. Season with salt and pepper. With damp hands, form the mixture into about 8 balls, then flatten them partially.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and brown both sides of the meatballs well. Turn the heat down to medium and fry for another 10 or 15 minutes, adding the butter during this time.
-
Remove the meatballs from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Best served with potato salad, rolls, and mustard.
