[If you'd like imperial measurements, my recipe is here.] You'll need:
1 onion, 1 carrot and 1 clove of garlic (see below)500g minced pork/veal/beef, any combination you like. The traditional Danish combo is ½ veal + ½ pork and it comes ready mixed in the supermarket.1 dl breadcrumbs (also from a packet)salt & lots and lots of pepper!1 eggabout 1 dl cream or milkAnd for cooking it:
packet of bacon (long strips)2.5 dl milk2.5 dl hot waterstock cubeAnd for the (heavenly) gravy, 'brown sauce' or brunsovs:
