Cooking Instructions
SAFETY: Thoroughly wash hands and surfaces after handling raw ground beef and pork.
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, ginger, and ground onion.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and slowly pour in the cold milk while mixing continuously until the meat mass is smooth and slightly sticky.
Using a tablespoon and your hand, shape the mixture into oval cakes about the size of an egg.
Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it stops foaming.
Fry the meat cakes until they have a deep brown crust on both sides; they do not need to be fully cooked through yet if simmering in gravy later.
Plate the meat cakes alongside a generous dollop of lingonberry fruit jam.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a light nutty brown color.
Whisk in the flour and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the roux becomes a dark chocolate brown (take care not to burn it).
Slowly whisk in the water and add the beef bouillon cube, ensuring no lumps form.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the gravy is thick and glossy.
Taste and season with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Pour the hot gravy over the meat cakes just before serving.
Peel the potatoes and cut into roughly equal sizes for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Add salt and bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and serve them whole alongside the meat cakes.
