OK, so let us address the title first. There are two names for this dish depending on what part of Denmark you are from. Karbonader relates to refers to coal fired in the old days. Krebinetter has its roots in French cuisine. Today it depends on what part of Denmark you live. If you live on Jutland it is called one and if you live on Sjelland you might call it another. I am going to call it stuffed Karbonader. lol Basically it is a breaded paddy of either minced pork and veal or just pork. Personally I don’t eat veal. Either way it is quite tasty. But… I have decided to take it up a notch by stuffing it with Gruyere cheese and mushroom duxelles. It totally elevates it to a whole different level! Pretty simple to make and absolutely comfort food. I hope you enjoy.
