[Leica] IMG: my mother's frikadeller

[Nathan Wajsman]

More food added (after all, we eat every day).

“Frikadeller” is a Danish word for meat patties, a distant cousin of hamburgers. In Polish, this dish is called “kotlety mielone” or “ground cutlets”. It is one of the dishes I remember very well from my childhood and adolescence, having watched my mother make them countless times. Now I make them for my wife and daughter, with separate bowls and pans since my daughter does not eat meat, so I use a soy-based ground beef substitute for her. But here is an image of the real thing, made with 50/50 ground beef and ground pork:

and here is the recipe:

I call them like this because “babcia” means “grandmother” in Polish, and this is how my children (who otherwise do not speak Polish) called my mother.

At a risk of getting laughed off the list by Sonny, here is my Cajun-style blackened hake:

This cooking in confinement project was started almost a year ago, on St. Patrick’s Day in 2020. It looks to continue, because while restaurants have re-opened as of this week, it is only outdoors and only until 6 p.m., so no going out for dinner. In the evening, takeout is the only option, so our Friday pizza is still available.

Bon appétit!
