Authentic Slovakian Fašírky Recipe - Delicious Dinner Idea

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg ground pork (preferably lean)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (for binding)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for spice)
  • 1 cup water (for moisture)
  • 3 tablespoons oil (for frying)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

    Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
  2. Add Moisture

    Gradually add water to the mixture until it reaches a consistency that holds together.

    Do not overmix to keep the texture tender.
  3. Shape the Patties

    Form the mixture into small patties or burgers, about 2 inches in diameter.

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking while shaping.
  4. Heat the Oil

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

    Test the oil by dropping a small piece of the mixture; it should sizzle.
  5. Fry the Patties

    Carefully place the patties in the skillet and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  6. Drain and Serve

    Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
