Wallenbergare

Today I made a Swedish dish called Wallenbergare. I made it with ground beef but it's originally made from ground veal.

Wallenbergare
500g ground veal or ground beef

4 egg yolks

4 dl cream

salt

white pepper

1 dl breadcrumbs

butter

Mashed potaoes
500 g potatoes

cream

butter

Start by cooking the potatoes.

All ingredients should be cold when you prepare the Wallenbergare. Put the meat in food processor using knife blade. Add egg yolks and the spices. Mix for a little bit and then carefully add the cream while mixer is going. Make sure cream is well mixed with the meat but be careful not to mix too long. If meat gets too warm it will not hold together.

Put half of the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip hands in cold water and make a "hamburger" (originally it should be round, 11x2 cm). The mix is really loose so it can be tricky. I just "drop" some meat on the breadcrumbs, sprinkle some crumbs on top and then use a spatula to move it to the pan. Then fry them slowly in butter, they should be light in the middle.

When the potatoes are done move them to food processor and mix together with cream, butter and salt (I use sea salt). Mix it together for a while.

Serve with peas and lingonberry jam (they sell it in Ikea). You can also pour some over melted butter.
