Yugoslav Fashir (breaded meat patties) – Beef Veal Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

1 pound ground pork or a combination of ground beef and ground pork

1/2 to 3/4 cup of dry bread crumbs

1 tablespoon dried parsley or oregano

1 tablespoon paprika

salt and pepper

1 tablespoon caraway seed

1 to 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place ground meat in large mixing bowl. To this bowl add bread

crumbs, parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seed and eggs.

Mix well and shape into hamburger sized patties. In a small, separate

bowl, beat one egg lightly. Dip each meat patty into egg, then dip

into separate pile of breadcrumbs, coating both sides. Lightly fry

each patty in oil/lard (both sides) then transfer to a large greased

baking dish. Place in oven, covered, for approximately an hour

and a half.

A lot of ethnic recipes such as this one do not require that you

follow the exact measurements. If you wish to add or subtract some

of the spices or their measurements, feel free to do so (although

I think the paprika is rather necessary). It is the idea of breading

the patties, frying them and baking in a slow oven that gives them

that special taste.

Fashir is most commonly served with a side dish of rice, bread,

and home preserved (canned) peaches.
