About the dish

A fine forcemeat of poultry and pork, which could be cooked into a pudding in a water bath or shaped into small cutlets and fried. Forcemeat dishes were popular in food for the sick because they were tender and easy to chew.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Scrape the meat

    Scrape the poultry meat and pork finely, and pound it in a mortar – first without butter, then with the butter worked in. (The meat can also be finely processed in a modern food processor.)

  2. 2

    Thin the forcemeat

    Let the forcemeat stand a quarter of an hour. Then stir in the egg yolk little by little together with the cream, in which the ground rusk has been soaked, and add the salt.

  3. 3

    Fold in the egg white

    Finally fold in the stiffly beaten egg white gently.

  4. 4

    Cook as a pudding

    Fill the forcemeat into a buttered mold and cook it in a water bath for about ¾ hour. Serve warm or cold.

  5. 5

    Or fry as cutlets

    The forcemeat can also be shaped into small cutlets and fried lightly in butter in a pan. For a sauce, stir ½ tsp wheat flour into the frying butter and thin with ½ dl warm broth.

Changes from the original

Measures are modernized (del. → dl, teske → teaspoon), and the method is divided into numbered steps. Pounding in a mortar is kept, but it is noted that the forcemeat can be finely chopped/processed in a modern kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between poultry cutlets and poultry pudding?

Which ingredients are needed?
75 g boneless poultry meat, 50 g pork, 15 g butter, 1 egg, 1 dl cream, 1 tsp rusk or white-bread crumbs and 1/4 tsp salt. The recipe yields 2 servings.
How is the forcemeat made correctly?
The meat is scraped finely and pounded first without butter, then with the butter. After a quarter of an hour the egg yolk and cream (with soaked bread) are stirred in little by little, then salt, and finally the stiffly whipped egg white.
Can you make a sauce to go with it?
Yes, stir 1/2 tsp wheat flour into the butter after frying and thin with 1/2 dl warm broth. The pudding can be served warm or cold.
