Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Dried parsley
- 1 tsp Paprika powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 Streaky bacon slices
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, dried parsley, paprika powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a compact sausage-like log about 10 cm (4 inches) long.
Wrap each meat log with 2 slices of streaky bacon, overlapping slightly to ensure the bacon secures the meat. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until the butter has melted and is sizzling.
Carefully add the bacon-wrapped meat logs (Slavinken) to the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning gently with tongs, until the bacon crisps and becomes golden brown.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook the Slavinken for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through. If necessary, add a splash of water to the pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the Slavinken from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
