→ For Frying
09 -
Vegetable oil, for frying
# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, soaked bread, egg, mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended.
02 -
Shape the mixture with your hands into palm-sized, round patties of even thickness.
03 -
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and fry for 5–7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
04 -
Remove patties from the pan and set them on paper towels to drain any remaining oil.
05 -
Serve hot, accompanied by classic sides such as potatoes or a fresh salad.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, squeeze out excess water from the soaked bread before adding to the meat mixture.
02 -
Mix the ingredients gently to avoid compacting the meat, resulting in lighter, juicier patties.
03 -
Allow patties to rest for a few minutes after forming to help them keep their shape during frying.
