Veal patties
Veal Patties recipe or Fricadelles de Veau à la Nicoise in French is what we are cooking today! Onions, garlic and tomatoes taste extremely good when mixed with minced veal. And what’s better, you can use various sauces to get a new twist on the recipe every time you make it.
My little secret
When I think of veal patties, they are always warm, homemade and delicious. This is the recipe that I have enjoyed since my childhood, but it is only now that I have discovered a little secret: breadcrumbs have to be soaked in milk. Did you know it?
Milk gives unbelievable softness to the bread but, if you don’t have milk, you can also soak the breadcrumbs in warm water.
When the veal patties are ready, decorate the dish to your preference.

- buttered rice, or
- French Green Beans with Bacon
Getting the perfect rice
Getting the perfect state of rice is always a tough task. But I invented my own way to achieve it. What I do is I put the rice into a pan and drain it in cold water 7–9 times until the water is crystal clear. Then I fill the casserole with boiling water and boil the rice until it is as tender as I need it to be – voila!
