Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 200 ml Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and fresh parsley.
Step 2
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Step 3
Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into small, round patties, each about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each meat patty in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the floured patties to the skillet, leaving space between them to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Fry the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the meat cutlets hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired, alongside a fresh salad or your preferred dipping sauce.
