Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 200 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and fresh parsley.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into small, round patties, each about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each meat patty in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the floured patties to the skillet, leaving space between them to ensure even cooking.
Fry the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the meat cutlets hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired, alongside a fresh salad or your preferred dipping sauce.
