Ground Meats Patties (Beef, Veal, Pork) (Hakklihakotlet)
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound lean ground veal
1/2 pound ground lean pork
2 eggs
1 cup fresh breadcrumb, pulverized in a blender
...or shredded with a fork
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup cold water
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
In a large mixing bowl, combine everything except the oil and 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
Knead for 5-10 minutes or until mixture is smooth, light and fluffy.
Moisten hands with cold water and shape the mixture into 8 thick, round patties.
Dip each in the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, thoroughly coating both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy 10-12 inch skillet over high heat until a haze forms above it.
Fry the patties 4 at a time for about 5-10 minutes on each side, regulating the heat so that
they brown deeply, but do not burn.
To make sure that they are fully cooked insert the tip of a knife into one of the patties,
spreading it slightly apart, and look to see that there is no pink.
If it is still pink in the middle, lower the heat and cook a few minutes longer, if not serve
immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
