Bitterballen are small round versions of the kroket. A thick beef ragout is rolled into balls, breaded and fried, and served with mustard for dipping.
Six are 300 kcal, with 8 g of protein, 22 g of carbs and 20 g of fat. The ragout is mostly roux and stock, so there is less meat than you would think.
They come with drinks in the bar, which is where they quietly add up. The beer is on top.
Tips
