FRIKADELLE - SOUTH AFRICAN MEATBALLS - BOEREWORS STYLE

Steps:

• Grind the whole fennel and coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle until a coarse consistency. Or, place them in a small Ziploc bag and hammer with a meat mallet, smooth side.
• In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients in the order given.
• Mix well so that everything is evenly distributed.
• Using an ice cream scoop - or a 1/3 cup measure - roll into balls then press slightly so they resemble chubby hamburgers - 2" in diameter - 3/4" thick.
• At this stage you can freeze them as you would hamburgers.
• To cook - heat the oil in a non stick frypan and brown on both sides.
• Use the pan juice to fry up some sliced onion and make a rich onion gravy.
• Return the patties to the gravy and cook on low until no longer pink.
• Serve on top of creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
• Instead of onion gravy - I sometimes simmer them in a curry sauce made of fried onion, garlic, curry powder (authentic quality) - coconut milk and crushed tomatoes in even quantities. Serve on basmati rice.
