Hart en Ziel Glutenvrije Runderbitterballen

Walk into any brown cafe in Amsterdam, order a beer, and a bowl of bitterballen is sure to follow. They are the essential Dutch party snack, bringing people together around the table.

Think of them as bite-sized, round versions of the famous beef kroket. They have a thick, crispy breadcrumb crust hiding a rich, intensely savory meat ragout inside that melts on your tongue.

Fry them up until golden and serve them immediately. Be careful—the inside stays incredibly hot! The only correct way to eat them is dipped straight into a dish of sharp Dutch mustard.
