Ingredients
Filling:
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter 142 grams
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups beef broth 830 milliliters
- 1/2 onion peeled and very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped, fresh, 6 grams
- 1 pound beef brisket or chuck roast, cooked, finely shredded, 450 grams
- 1-1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
Bitterballen:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 125 grams
- 3 egg large
- 2 cups bread crumbs plain, unseasoned, 240 grams
- vegetable oil for deep-frying
- mustard for serving
Instructions
To make the filling:
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, slowly stir in the flour and continue to cook, stirring constantly, to form a paste.
- Once lightly golden, slowly whisk in the beef broth.
- Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in the onion, parsley, and shredded beef.
- Season with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust seasonings as desired.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
To assemble:
- Once ready to serve, fill a pot or deep fryer with 3-4 inches (8-10 centimeters) of vegetable oil and heat the oil to 375˚F (190˚C).
- Place a large plate nearby and cover with a towel.
- Place the flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
- In another bowl, beat together the eggs.
- In a third bowl, add the bread crumbs.
- Place another plate nearby.
- Scoop out a tablespoon of the thickened filling and form into a ball. Coat in the flour, then thoroughly in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by completely coating in the breadcrumbs. Place on the plate and repeat with another 4-5 pieces.
- Gently add the formed Bitterballen to the heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and heated through.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the golden Bitterballen to the towel-lined plate.
- Repeat with the remaining beef mixture, coating in the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, then frying until golden.
- Serve the Bitterballen while still warm with mustard for dipping.
