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
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once marinated, thread 4-5 pieces of meat onto each wooden skewer, leaving a little space at the ends for handling.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Dredge each skewer in flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Fry the skewers in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Once cooked, place the skewers on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the patychky warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.
