Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground pork
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 Large onion
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 4 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Marjoram (optional)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef.
Finely chop the onions or grate them, and add to the meat mixture.
Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes, then add them to the meat mixture.
Crack the eggs into the meat mixture, and add the salt, black pepper, and marjoram if using.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough patties.
Shape the mixture into oval patties, approximately 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
Dredge each patty lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook the patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Keep the patties warm in a low oven (200°F) if necessary while frying the remaining batches.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a light salad.
