Russian Burgers (Kotlety)
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or meat of your choice
- 1 small onion grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup water or more as needed
- 1 cup bread crumbs or as needed
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or to taste
Instructions
- Combine pork, onion, garlic, and egg in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add water a little at a time, stirring until pork mixture absorbs it and reaches the consistency of sour cream.
- Pour bread crumbs onto a plate. Scoop up medium-sized balls of the pork mixture with a tablespoon and drop into the bread crumbs; flip to coat both sides.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry patties, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
