Ingredients
- 700 g minced meat (pork)
- 300 g several loaf slices
- 250 ml milk
- 1 onion
- 150 g breadcrumbs
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. dried herbs optional
Instructions
- Take a deep bowl, place loaf slices, and cover them with milk. Let them soak for 5 minutes to soften, at least.
- Peel onions and cut them into big chunks. Blend it using a convenient way whether a blender or a meat grinder. Add it to the bowl with minced meat.
- Squeeze loaf slices to get rid of milk. Blend this ingredient, too. Add to the bowl with minced meat and onion.
- Add seasoning at this stage. Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and herbs. Garlic powder, dried thyme, and smoked paprika will be among the best choices to add. A foolproof option is also a teaspoon of a mix of Italian herbs. Thoroughly mix the ingredients until the mixture becomes well combined.
- Take a flat plate and sprinkle breadcrumbs over it. Form oval patties with your hands or use a tablespoon in the size you need. Try making patties of the same size so that they cook evenly. Dip every side of the cutlet into the breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook meat patties for 2-4 minutes on each side or until browned. If you making them for the first time on your stove, you will need to check the doneness of the meat before taking them out of the skillet as everyone's skillet and stove cook differently.
- When you have patties ready, take them out of the skillet and place them on the paper towels to drain the excess of oil from the pan. Enjoy with any type of side dish!
