Mix the breadcrumbs, minced meat seasoning, and water. Let swell for a moment, then add the ground beef and egg. Mix the mixture until smooth and shape into 20 evenly sized meatballs.
2
Peel the onion and rinse the bell peppers, then chop them into generous pieces. Heat the oil in a sauté pan, add the onion and pepper pieces and the crushed garlic cloves. Toss the vegetables in the oil for a few minutes.
3
Add the tomato purée, crumbled bouillon cube, and oregano. Let boil for a couple of minutes and place the meatballs into the sauce at regular intervals. Cook covered over a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
4
Season the sauce with an additional pinch of black pepper and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve the frikadeller with cooked pasta or potatoes and grated parmesan.
