Whisk together the vinegar, water and sugar. When all the sugar has dissolved, add the salt and some ground black pepper, along with the mustard seeds and peppercorns. Halve the cucumbers lengthways, scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon, then cut into half-moons 5mm (1/4in) thick. Place the cucumbers in the brine, gently folding now and then, until ready to serve.2Step 2: To make the meatballs, mix the minced meats, courgette, onion, garlic, thyme and eggs together and mix well. Fold in the breadcrumbs and flour and mix again. Lastly, mix in the sparkling water and season with salt and pepper.3Step 3: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan (skillet). Use a spoon and your free hand to shape the meat mixture into medium-sized oval balls. Place in the butter and oil and fry on all sides until golden brown.4Step 4: Transfer to an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking. Take the cucumber out of the brine (you can reuse the brine, so don't throw it away), and serve it in a bowl alongside the frikadeller.getsaucepan.com/r/e1f68d95-e43f-42ad-88af-c212b9f01561 · Original: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20231228-frikadeller-the-classic-danish-comfort-food-dish
