INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 hard rolls, day-old
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

What to Drink?
Wine Pinot Noir

DIRECTIONS

  1. Pour the milk into a bowl; soak the rolls in the milk for about 15 minutes.
  2. Place the milk-soaked rolls, beef, pork, eggs, onion, parsley, marjoram, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix with your hands until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into eight portions and roll them into balls. Flatten the balls to make 1-inch thick patties.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Fry each patty in the melted butter until meat has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 6 minutes each side. These can be served either hot or cold.
