Ingredient notes
Minced pork – We most often use pork mince, but a mixture of minced veal and pork also works really well for danish breaded pork patties.
Capers – Our secret to the best krebinetter is capers. It is so delicious in the mince and gives a great taste. Even the kids love it, and if you have not tried it, then we recommend that you give it a try.
Bread crumbs – We bread our krebinetter in bread crumbs so that they get a delicious and crispy surface when they are fried on the pan.
Frozen peas and carrots – It’s just super easy to buy a bag of frozen vegetables in the supermarket. You can also use frozen peas and fresh carrots cut in small squares.
Parsley – We add parsley to our stewed vegetables, it gives a good and fresh taste, which goes perfectly with the krebinetter and the slightly fatty sauce.
How to make danish breaded pork patties with vegetable stew?
It is not at all that difficult to make a batch of krebinetter for the family.
The first thing you need to do is mix all the ingredients for the mince together. Then the mince should be shaped into patties and breaded before being fried on the pan until golden, crispy, and well done.
In the meantime, you can make the stewed vegetables. First, the vegetables must be boiled quickly, and then the sauce must be made of butter, flour, and milk. The sauce gets extra taste from a stock cube as well as nutmeg, and then the vegetables just have to be stirred in.
Finally, add the parsley to the sauce, and then it is ready to be served!

Danish breaded pork patties (krebinetter)
Ingredients
- 600 g minced pork
- 1 glass capers
- 2 eggs for breading
- 2 dl bread crumbs for breading
- Oil for frying
Stewed peas and carrots
- 750 g frozen peas and carrots
- 50 g butter
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour with top
- 2 dl milk
- Water
- 1 pork stock cube
- 1 dl parsley finely chopped
- ¼ tsp nutmeg finely grated
Instructions
- Find a large bowl and add the mince and capers and the liquid from the glass. Mix the mince thoroughly and form 4 patties. Find a frying pan and heat up the olive oil. Now the patties should be breaded. First, they are turned into beaten eggs and then into bread crumbs. Then they should go on the hot frying pan and fry at medium heat approx. 10-15 min. on both sides.
- While the breaded patties are frying in the pan, you can make the sauce. When you turn over the patties, the peas and carrots goes in a pot of boiling water, and get a short boil so they still have a little bite. Pour off the water and let them drip off.
- Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat and add the flour while whisking until it becomes a smooth mixture. Let it cook over low heat for approx. 1 min while whisking.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking. Continue adding water to the sauce until it has the desired consistency. Add the stock cubes together with the grated nutmeg and peas and carrots. Let it simmer for approx. 5 min, remember to stir so it does not burn in the bottom. Finish by adding parsley and season with salt and pepper.
