FRIKKADELS

Frikkadels image

Otherwise known as Dutch Forcemeat Balls. This is my family's favourite dish, so I thought I would share it with you all. Serve with steamy hot rice and salad. We like to use Sweet Chilli Sauce as a dip, but I'm sure any Asian style sauce will do just as well. Don't leave the cloves out - it's important to the flavour of the meatballs. The original recipe came from Charmaine Solomon's - The Complete Asian Cookbook, but I have modified it a little.
