Savor the rich, hearty flavors of this Low Sodium Svizzera di Carne Trita, a healthier take on the classic Italian-style ground beef patties. Crafted with lean ground beef, aromatic garlic, fresh parsley, and a hint of Parmesan for a cheesy twist, this recipe balances flavor and nutrition perfectly. Breadcrumbs and egg keep the patties tender and juicy, while dried oregano and black pepper add a subtle Mediterranean flair. With just 15 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking time, these golden, pan-seared patties are a quick and delicious main course for weeknight dinners. Serve them alongside vibrant roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a wholesome, low sodium meal that delights without compromise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix the ingredients until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness on the inside.
Optional: For added flavor, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of water or unsalted broth after cooking the patties to create a light sauce.
Serve the Svizzera di Carne Trita warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or unsalted mashed potatoes.
