Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef (80% lean)
- 250 g ground pork
- 100 g Italian breadcrumbs
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and Italian breadcrumbs.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and red chili flakes to the bowl.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, and paprika evenly over the mixture, followed by the salt and black pepper.
Crack the egg into the bowl and add the fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly using your hands or with a sturdy spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate or tray.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it coat the surface evenly.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, leaving space between each one. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until nicely browned.
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Spicy Italian Patties on a bun, over a salad, or with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
