Grew up with my Grandmother and Mother Making so many dishes from the Netherlands, (guess that makes me 3rd gen?) A lot of stampot! Slowly preparing boerenkool stamppot as I watch this actually (came across frikandel recipes). Had no idea frikadel existed till 3 hours ago... Edit: Looks even better on a bun! Can't wait. Instructions are good, but, videos are better for something new. Glad I searched, subbed! Dank u wel! One of the few things I still know....😅
Will make this tonight my husbands favorite thing to eat when we are in Holland, also includes lekker bekjes, loempia’s, patat. For me nassiebalken of bamilappen, croquettes, hema rook worst en dropmen more drop.
My grandfather emigrated from Holland in 1905, when he was 20 years old. I knew he was from Holland, but I didn't know enough to ask him what kind of food he grew up eating. I'm in south Texas, where it's mostly Tex-Mex food, and just realized there's another cuisine I need to try. Thank you for you channel!
The first frikandellen were made by a butcher in 1954, so a long timer after your grandfather left the Netherlands. The cuisine and diet from the Dutch people changed a lot in all those years. If you are interested to know what your grandfather was eating in your childhood, you have to know where he is from and if he was from a poor or a rich family and from a city or the countryside but basically all the people had their main meal during noon. All the men and children came home to have a warm meal consisting always potatoes and a vegetable, just cooked, if you were lucky with some pork fat and if you were rich with meat as well. Most of the people didn't have money for meat, perhaps a very small piece at sundays. Porridge was also eaten a lot. And in the evening the poor people ate just rye bread, again, if they were lucky with some pork fat and if they had money with a thin slice of cheese or a very thin slice of sausage. Still Dutch people eat thin slices of sausage and cheese on their sandwiches comparing many other countries, just as a habit, not for economical reasons. Only one thing I can tell for sure, your grandfather had the only warm meal of the day during noon and always with boiled potatoes and a boiled vegetable, very plain and simple just with salt. The rich people were more eating French oriented. In the history the Dutch " cuisine" was known as a blend and tasteless cuisine without the use of any spices. People didn't eat as an enjoyment but for filling their stomach. Life was very hard for most of the Dutch people at that time and there was a huge gap between poor and rich.
I'm fourth generation Dutch, so I really appreciate your channel! I want to bring back my heritage and learning Dutch recipes is a great start. I loved having Frikandel when I was in Eindhoven. Dank u!
Well (for being #1) it competes higgly with a "bereklauw pinda"!! Which is a big meatball sliced (in (3 or) 4 slices), in between these meatball slices we put thick(-ish) yellow onion slices, we frie this and it is served with (Indonesian) peanut sauce.
Whenever I visit my family in The Netherlands, they know my snack routine: 6 Haring with onions, 4 Kroketjes, 4 Frikandel Speciaal, 2 Deep-fried Scholletjes (flounder), and 2 servings of bitterballen. Needless to say, not all at the same time of course but over a period of a few days. Being 2nd Generation Indo, we have our Indonesian rice table made fresh from scratch at home with, of course, Satay from a recipe my Mom got from a vendor when we lived in Dutch New Guinea. Over the years I've managed to make my own kroketjes as well as frikandel but I am always up for other people's recipes so, in that aspect: Thank you for posting yours. In regards to the broth for the kroketjes, the most flavor one was made with a bone broth based on a recipe from Auguste Escoffier because I easily get bored making the same thing over and over again without trying something new.
Here is the brown beef stock I ran into one day and used it for the kroketjes and bitterballen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxvQMHf_SKw.htmlsi=-KAFC8gUJcnKpk-8
Curry, mayo etc bestel ik bij van der Veen in Michigan (the Dutch store) stuk goedkoper! Hopelijk komen er binnenkort weer nieuwe video's, balkenbrij zou geweldig zijn!
Yes!!! Dit recept lijkt tenminste op een echte frikandel 🎉 Na een paar jaar deze niet te hebben gegeten, heeft mijn man er nu enorm zin in, alleen waar wij wonen kennen ze dit niet 😮 Ik heb het volste vertrouwen erin dat deze goed gaan smaken want tot nu toe smaakte alles van jouw yt kanaal overheerlijk 🎉
Very nice. Normally Dutchies will simply buy decent premade frikandellen, I never thought about making the actual frikandel myself, it looks delicious!
It amazed me how some recipe has evolved over centuries. Like how did my ancestor turned this recipe to fried mashed potato and call it ferkedel/perkedel 😅 Thanks for the recipe!
Are you Dutch natively? You almost have no noticeable accent. I moved to Canada when i was 28. And i crave Frikandellen en kroketten. Ook haring met uitjes hmmm.
Well done on making those frikandelle Toine. They look perfect and I'm sure taste delicious as they're home made. Try using gravy browning instead of coffee. I'm positive you will get a better colour. Awesome!
The first time I made frikandellen myself I didn't have a meat grinder - they came out looking..... well not appetizing at all. the 2nd time it was much better but more like a 'berenklauw' ... still good. For the curry I seriously recommend you try the German Hela brand, it's so much better than Remia in my opinion.
Ah, Toine. Just discovered your channel. I spent 6 months working in Amsterdam in the early 2000s. I remember these snacks well, including frikandel and bitterballen. I also got a taste for shoarma and have been looking for a home cooked recipe for it. It’s the distinct spice mix taste I’m looking for. I have tried several different kebab recipes, but none of them come near to the taste of the Amsterdam version. Would you happen to have a good recipe for shoarma?
I do have a question. What is the traditional recipe for frikendel? I work at a restaurant that makes about 12 sausages in house and we strive to make them as authentically as possible. You mentioned the meat varies. I would love to possibly add this to the menu
a mixture of chicken and pork (and sometimes horse meat) ;) our producers of frikandels use "mechanically recovered meat", what this man made is superior to what you buy in the supermarket, however the spices mainly define taste the frikandel, thats why they tend to use mechanically recovered meat
I tried this crap once, paid in a restaurant in Gouda something like 6 bucks... but... this frikandel is not worth a cent! Complete crap made out of all meat that could not be sold. But Dutch people indeed like that crap. It was probably the only dish I regret tasting ))) Hope to forget that decaying taste one day )))
