Preparation procedure

  • Prepare the base for juiciness Pour the breadcrumbs into a small bowl and cover with the milk. Let stand for 5 minutes so they absorb the liquid and form a creamy mixture. This step will ensure the patties are moist and tender inside.
  • Sauté the onion Briefly sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic in a little oil. Once the onion becomes translucent and soft, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Cooked onion will give the patties a sweeter flavor and a better texture.
  • Combine all the ingredients In a bowl, mix the ground meat, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, paprika, nutmeg and the cooled onion with garlic. Mix only lightly and briefly – mixing too vigorously would unnecessarily toughen the meat.
  • Shape the patties Moisten your hands with cold water and shape the mixture into patties of equal size (about 8 pieces). Flatten them slightly so they cook through evenly.
  • Fry until golden Heat oil in a pan to medium temperature (about 160–170 °C). Place the patties in and fry them 5–6 minutes on one side and 4–5 minutes on the other. Place the finished patties on paper towels.
