Ingredients
- 90 g Beef, ground, 80% lean, raw
- 60 g Lamb, ground, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 0.3 g Baking soda
- 20 g Beef broth
- 0.3 g Black pepper

- 0.3 g Coriander seeds
- 1 g Salt

Method
- Mix the ground beef and lamb with the crushed garlic, baking soda, beef broth, pepper, allspice, coriander and salt; knead well with your hands for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and holds together.
- Cover and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, so the flavours meld.
- Shape into small finger-length rolls, about 8 cm long, with wet hands.
- Brush a hot grill or griddle pan with the oil and cook the rolls for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until well browned outside and cooked through with no pink remaining (74 °C/165 °F).
- Serve hot, traditionally with mustard, bread and pickles.
