Fleisch-Laibchen mit cremiger Champignon-Sauce

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

pork tenderloin

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken breast is leaner and more economical than tenderloin.

white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth adds flavor without alcohol.

mushrooms

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Canned mushrooms are often less expensive and have a longer shelf life.

Form the Fleisch-Laibchen (Frikadellen) using the mixed meat, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, marjoram, paprika, salt, and pepper. Optionally add water or cream for extra moisture.

Heat oil or butter in a pan and fry the formed Laibchen until golden brown.

For the sauce, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the same pan.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.

Stir in tomato paste, then deglaze with white wine (or water/broth).

Add beef or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Stir in cream or crème fraîche and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Season with salt and pepper.

Optionally, add the fried Laibchen to the sauce and simmer together for 5 minutes for added flavor.
