CHEESE-BAKED GROUND MEAT PATTIES
Ostgratinerade färsbiffar


A quick and easy, festive ground meat recipe.


Serves 4


1 lb ground meat (50/50 beef/pork)
½ finely chopped or grated onion
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons relish (don't know if you have ajvar,
but that type)
½ teaspoon salt
some black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 diced tomatoes
½ diced mozzarella ball
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
0.6 cup grated cheese, strong and ripe


Roast roots:
2 sweet potatoes
4 firm potatoes
3 carrots
2 parsnips
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley


Ajvar (relish) sauce:
1.2 cup crème fraîche
0.2 cup ajvar relish




Roast roots:
Heat the oven to 435F. Peel and cut up the roots and put them on a plate with baking paper. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley, then stir until blended. Roast in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes.


Patties:
Heat the oven to 480F. Mix the ground meat with onion, ajvar and egg yolk. Flavor with salt and pepper and shape into 8 patties that you fry in butter for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.


Stir together tomatoes, mozzarella, grated cheese and chopped basil. Put the patties in an oven-proof pan and sprinkle with the tomato mixture. Bake in the middle of the oven for 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.


Serve with the ajvar sauce.


Enjoy!
