Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped cod, almond flour, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  2. Mix well and form into small balls or patties.
  3. Dip each patty into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  4. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Tips for Austrian Beef and Cod Bites

  • Keep the patties small and similar in thickness so the beef and cod cook evenly.
  • A well-browned crust and a firm center are useful doneness cues; avoid crowding the pan, which can make the coating steam instead of crisp.
  • Serve soon after frying for the best contrast between the crisp exterior and tender center.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the coating may soften.
