Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 100 grams Cooked rice
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook half of the ground beef (250 grams) until browned and fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef with the remaining raw ground beef, cooked rice, finely chopped onion, 2 eggs, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into an oval or an elongated patty about 2-3 inches long.
Prepare a dredging station by beating the remaining 2 eggs in a shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a separate plate.
Dip each of the formed patties first into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated, and then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches frying temperature (around 175°C or 350°F).
Fry the patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried patties from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of yogurt, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
