Chicken and beef patties

How to fry chicken and beef patties?

Take ready-made minced meat for patties. If it was not possible to buy minced meat in advance, it is easy to make it yourself in the presence of a meat grinder. To do this, wash the beef pulp thoroughly and remove large, coarse films and veins. Cut into portions for grinding in a meat grinder. Pass the meat through it twice, the first time using a grate with larger holes, and the second time - smaller (medium diameter).

Chicken meat, freed from films and skins, also chop (you can do it once, since chicken is more tender than beef). Combine both types of minced meat in a common bowl.

Soak a loaf (preferably stale and without crusts) in milk or water. Fill it completely with liquid and leave it to swell. The bread mass should become soft and viscous.

Peel onion and garlic and wash thoroughly, dry with a towel. Grind in any convenient way. You can cut it with a knife into a small crumb-cube. You can also use a blender or skip through a meat grinder along with the meat.

Pass the soaked loaf through a meat grinder after the meat products and add it to a common bowl. Send the chicken egg and your favorite spices there. In addition to the classic ones - salt and ground black pepper - you can add a mixture of dried herbs or some special seasoning. Knead the cutlet mass well and beat it off on the surface of a table or cutting board.

Pour cold water into a plate, moisten your hands in it and divide all the minced meat into separate portions - future cutlets. Continuing to wet your hands, form balls and give the cutlets the desired shape. They can be round, oval or with one pointed end.

Preheat a frying pan with vegetable oil to a hot state. Fry each cutlet in a hot frying pan until golden brown on both sides.

Serve chicken and beef patties hot with your favorite side dish and sauce. Boiled potatoes, any porridge and pasta are perfect.

Bon appetit!

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh meat, so the cutlets will turn out juicier and retain more useful nutrients.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
