Directions

  1. Combine pork, onion, garlic, and egg in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add water a little at a time, stirring until pork mixture absorbs it and reaches the consistency of sour cream.

  2. Pour bread crumbs onto a plate. Scoop up medium-sized balls of the pork mixture with a tablespoon and drop into the bread crumbs, flip to coat both sides.

  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry patties, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Recipe Note

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.
