Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Pork or beef (boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 large Onion
- 3 pcs Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 100 g Sour cream
- 100 g All-purpose flour
- 2 pcs Eggs
- 150 g Breadcrumbs
- 250 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 12 pcs Wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a bowl, combine the cubed pork or beef with grated onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and sour cream. Mix well, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Once marinated, thread 4-5 pieces of meat onto each wooden skewer, leaving a little space at the ends for handling.
Set up a breading station with three plates or shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first plate, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
Dredge each skewer in flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of breading—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the skewers in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once cooked, place the skewers on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the patychky warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.
