Homemade Dutch Frikandellen Recipe
This unique, skinless, deep-fried sausage is a popular snack that is mostly consumed in Belgium and the Netherlands.
There has been a long dispute whether frikandel is originally Belgian or Dutch, and although the exact origin of frikandel is unknown, it is certain that the dish first appeared in the 1950s.
The original frikandel sausage consisted of a variety of meat, most commonly pork, chicken, and horse meat. Traditionally, it is served plain, with a dollop of mayonnaise on the side.
However, it can be served as broodje frikandel, where the sausage is served in a white bread bun, or as frikandel speciaal, when the sausage is sliced through the middle and doused with mayonnaise, curry ketchup, and finely chopped onions.
HOW TO STORE FRIKANDELLEN
If the frikandellen are fried, you can no longer keep them. But if you have only cooked the frikandellen, you can store them in the following ways.
Refrigerator – The cooked sausages can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Then they only need to be fried.
Freezer – Pack them in a freezer bag or box and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. If you want to be able to pack them separately, first freeze them on a baking tray (separately from each other) and only then put them in a freezer box or bag. Let them thaw in the refrigerator.
Heating up – Fry the frikandellen for 3 minutes in the deep fryer.
