Mixed minced meat 600 g Faschiertes gemischt (Rind und Schwein)

Brussels sprouts 500 g Kohlsprossen frisch

Bacon 50 g geräucherter Speck (am Stück)

Classic breadcrumbs 3 EL Semmelbrösel

Vegetable oil 2 EL Pflanzenöl

Free-range eggs M 1 Stk. Ei Freilandhaltung

Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat. Clean the Brussels sprouts by removing the unsightly outer leaves. Otherwise, leave the sprouts whole and do not halve them.

Mix the minced meat with the egg, breadcrumbs, and very finely diced bacon. Salt as needed – be careful with already salted minced meat and bacon! Finally, incorporate 50 ml of ice-cold water and mix briefly until a homogeneous mass is formed. (Tip: Fry a small test patty in a pan to check the seasoning.)

Grease a baking dish with a little oil. With moistened hands, form the meat mixture into balls the size of table tennis balls and place them in the dish with small gaps. Fill the gaps with the Brussels sprouts and brush everything with the remaining oil.
