Bitter Balls
Try Bitter Balls - a tasty, bite sized form of the beef croquette available in prefried or unfried. Bitterballen are a savoury Dutch meat-based snack, typically containing a mixture of beef, beef broth, margarine, flour for thickening, parsley, herbs and spices - resulting in a thick ragout. The ingredients are combined and cooked, then refrigerated for the mixture to firm up. Once firm, the filling is rolled into balls roughly 3 to 4 cm in diameter, then battered in a breadcrumb and batter mixture and deep-fried. They are typically served with a ramekin or small bowl of mustard for dipping. Unlike the name - these snacks are definitely not ‘bitter’. Available in beef flavour.
Preparation:
