Ingredients

  • ground veal600 g
  • cream200 ml
  • egg yolks3 pcs
  • breadcrumbs70 g
  • butter50 g
  • potato800 g
  • milk100 ml
  • green peas200 g
  • lingonberry150 g
  • sugar30 g
  • salt1 to taste
  • ground white pepper1 to taste
  • water1000 ml

Instructions

1

Chill the ground veal, cream and egg yolks to refrigerator temperature; place the mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes.

2

Transfer the ground veal to the cold bowl, add salt and white ground pepper, and mix until you get a sticky, smooth mass. Add the egg yolks one at a time, then gradually pour in the cold cream, mixing well after each addition.

3

Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties with damp hands, coat them immediately in breadcrumbs and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

4

Peel the potatoes, cut into even pieces and boil in water until tender, 18–20 minutes. Drain, mash the potatoes, stir in 20 g of butter and hot milk; season with salt and white pepper.

5

For the lingonberries, mix the berries with sugar and set aside for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

6

Melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat. Fry the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden-crusted and cooked through, without letting the pan overheat.

7

Separately, heat the green peas with 2–3 tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt for 3–4 minutes, so they stay bright and don't overcook.

8

Serve the Wallenbergare hot with mashed potatoes, green peas and lingonberries.
