Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Start by mincing the large onion and the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, minced onion, and minced garlic.
Add the paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
Mix in the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the meat mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the water into the mixture, mixing continuously to maintain a smooth texture.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty (pljeskavica) about 1 cm thick.
Cover the patties and let them rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill or fry each pljeskavica patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked with a nice char on the outside.
Serve the gluten-free pljeskavica hot, accompanied by your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
