Ingredients
- 5 oz of cubed dry bread
- 1 lb Minced pork-beef mixture
- 1 cup onions chopped
- 1/2 cup Parsley chopped
- 4 Eggs
- Salt and pepper
- Potentially breadcrumbs to adjust the texture
Instructions
- Soak bread in warm water, then squeeze completely dry. It is important that all the liquid which can be squeezed is out of the bread! Briefly sauté the onions in some oil/butter.
- Mix meat, squeezed bread, egg, onions, parsley, and spices.
- Form into flat patties.
- Pan-fry in oil/butter until dark brown and crispy (approx. 6 mins per side).
Notes
This recipe yields approximately 12 small Fleischküchle. You can make "mini" Fleischkuechle and serve them cold for finger food or as a appetizer.
You can coat the Fleischküchle in the breadcrumbs to give them an even crispier texture!
When using ground turkey adjust the amount of bread since turkey brings in a very "wet" texture. Alternativeley when your meat dough is too liquidy you can treat it like a pancake dough and scoop it into your pan.
