Ingredients

Scale

Beef patties

1 Ib (450g) of ground beef
1/4 Ib (115g) of ground pork
1 Anchovy fillet, finely chopped
4 Free range egg yolks
2 Tablespoons of capers, chopped
3 Tablespoons of pickled beetroot, finely diced
1 Large potato, boiled and finely diced
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon of mustard
Salt & pepper
Organic butter for frying

To serve

8 Potatoes
4 Free range eggs
Organic butter for frying, and for thickening the sauce
1/2 Cup (1,25dl) of good beef stock
Salt & black pepper
Chives for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped anchovy fillet, egg yolks, chopped capers, and finely chopped pickled beetroot. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a large patty.
Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the patties to the pan.
Fry the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a more traditional taste, ensure to use pickled beetroots and not fresh ones. Serve the patties with boiled potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal. These patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a pan. If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
