KOTLETY (RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN MEAT PATTIES)



Kotlety (Russian/Ukrainian Meat Patties) image

These are some seriously savory Kotlety (Russian/Ukrainian meat patties) that are like bun-less burgers or large meatballs. This recipe makes about 16 Kotlety so feel free to double if you need them for a larger crowd. They will freeze well also for a future meal.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb grass-fed ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 slices of whole wheat sandwich bread
1/3 cup milk or water (I prefer milk, but water is fine too)
1 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/3 cup yellow or white onion, grated
2 eggs
Olive oil to grease pan

Steps:

  • Add beef and pork to a large mixing bowl.
  • Place bread in small bowl and pour milk or water on top and let bread soak for 2-3 minutes. After time is up, mash up bread and milk with fingers until it's all wet and smashed up into a thick paste.
  • Mix garlic, paprika, salt and pepper together in a small ramekin.
  • Add bread mixture, grated onion, eggs and spices large mixing bowl with meat.
  • Mix meat mixture well (fingers work best) until fully combined.
  • Preheat your cooking device: cast iron skillet or griddle to Medium/ Medium low and once warm add enough oil just to coat bottom. (If using panini press preheat it now) I do like to use a cast iron skillet sometimes to make these as well, but you need to watch the heat on the cast iron more closely to not burn the kotlety.
  • Form patties with meat mixture, I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and make them about 1" thick (round or oval, your preference)

EASTERN EUROPEAN KOTLETY



Eastern European Kotlety image

While growing up, my Polish-Russian grandmother, who lived with our family, made these little meat patties quite often and they were a family favorite. Here is my rendition, from what I remember when cooking with Grandma, as she never wrote the recipe down. The patties were always served with mashed potatoes, green beans, applesauce, and, of course, plenty of ketchup for the patties.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds freshly ground beef chuck (or a mixture of beef and pork)
2 slices stale white bread, crusts removed, soaked for 5 minutes in water and squeezed
1 small onion, grated
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed in a press
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill or parsley
2 1/2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
2 to 3 cups fine dried bread crumbs for coating
Canola oil and unsalted butter, for frying

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the first eight ingredients and blend well into a homogenous mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • 2. With wet hands, shape the mixture into oval patties approximately 3 1/2 inches long. Spread bread crumbs on a large plate or a sheet of wax paper. Coat patties in crumbs, flattening them out slightly and pressing down for the crumbs to adhere.
  • 3. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the oil with a pat of butter until sizzling. Working in batches, fry the kotleti over medium-high heat until golden-brown, about 4 minutes per side. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes to cook through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the patties. Serve at once.

RUSSIAN BURGERS (KOTLETY)



Russian Burgers (Kotlety) image

These Russian kotlety are very easy and versatile. I usually add whatever's on hand to give the burgers a little something extra: a little oregano, thyme, herbes de Provence, etc... or go with some paprika and a little ancho chile powder. These are just some suggestions and can be altered to taste or completely left out.
