Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine minced beef, pork and goose fat, spices, onion powder and cream, season to taste and mix until combined. Place about one-third of this mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Process until fine and smooth, but don’t let it get too warm. Stir the processed mince back into the remaining mince mixture.
Transfer to a piping bag with a large, straight nozzle (about 1.5 cm), pipe long strips onto a baking paper lined oven tray. Cut into sausages about 6 cm long. Wet your hands and shape the sausages, squaring off the ends for the traditional Frikadel shape. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Poach the sausages in batches for 5 minutes or until just cooked. Place on paper towel to dry, then chill in fridge.
Heat oil to 180°C. Fry in small batches, 1 minute for each batch, or until golden. Serve with diced onion, mayonnaise and ketchup.
Note
• Goose fat is available from selected Continental delicatessens
