Ingredients

  • 8 oz Ground beef
  • 8 oz Ground pork
  • 4 oz Ground veal
  • 2 teaspoons Onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon White pepper
  • 1/4 cup Beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 2 cups Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 8 oz ground beef, 8 oz ground pork, and 4 oz ground veal. Add the 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  2. 2Gradually add the 1/4 cup beef broth and 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to the meat mixture. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and holds together well, with no dry spots.
  3. 3Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into an elongated, cylindrical form, about 4-5 inches long and 1 inch thick, similar to the shape of a Frikandel.
  4. 4Heat the 2 cups oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. 5Carefully place the shaped Frikandels into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
  6. 6Remove the Frikandels from the hot oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  7. 7Serve the hot Frikandels with keto-friendly curry ketchup.
