Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground pork — Ensure that the ground pork is fresh and of high quality to achieve the best flavor and texture in the medisterkaker.
- Lingonberry sauce — If you can't find lingonberry sauce, you can substitute it with cranberry sauce, which will provide a similar tangy flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cloves to the medisterkaker mixture.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, you can wet your hands with water while shaping the patties to prevent sticking.
- Serve the medisterkaker with a side of lingonberry sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness.
Serving advice
Serve the medisterkaker hot, accompanied by boiled potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and lingonberry sauce on the side. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley for an appealing presentation.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden-brown medisterkaker on a platter, drizzle the lingonberry sauce over them, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. The vibrant colors of the lingonberry sauce and the green parsley will make the dish visually appealing.
