4 servings · 45 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 4 servings.
- 400 g Minced pork
- 200 g Minced veal
- 1 piece Onion, grated
- 1 piece Egg
- 3 tbsp Plain flour
- 150 ml Milk
- 0.5 tsp Ground allspice
- 60 g Butter
- 800 g Boiled potatoes
- to taste Pickled red cabbage
- to taste Salt and pepper
Method
- Mix both minces with the grated onion, egg, flour, salt, pepper and allspice.
- Work it for five minutes, adding the milk in stages. The mixture should turn tacky and string off the spoon.
- Chill it for half an hour: cold farce holds its shape better.
- Melt the butter over medium heat. With a spoon dipped in water, scoop the mixture into the pan and flatten each one.
- Fry six minutes a side, to a dark brown crust. Do not hurry: the colour is the flavour.
- Serve with boiled potatoes, pickled red cabbage and the gravy from the pan.
