Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 medium Onion
- 1/2 teaspoon each Spices (Nutmeg, Cloves)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 2 cups Oil for Frying
Instructions
- 1Finely chop the 1/2 medium onion. Place a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Add the chopped onion to the dry skillet and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- 2Add the 1 lb ground beef to the skillet with the softened onion. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes, or until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- 3Pour in the 1 cup beef broth. Add the 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture has thickened.
- 4Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup almond flour and the 1 egg until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps it firm up for shaping.
- 5Once the mixture is cool and firm, roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have about 16-20 balls.
- 6Pour the 2 cups of oil into a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 7Carefully add the bitterballen to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- 8While the bitterballen are frying or draining, place the 2 tablespoons of mustard in a small serving bowl for dipping.
