Kyufte

Ingredients

• 250 g Ground Pork
• 250 g Ground Beef
• 1 pcs Onion
• 1 pcs Egg
• 1 tsp Summer Savory
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
• 2 tbsp Parsley
• 1 pcs Lemon

Method

1. In a large bowl, grate {onion} finely, then add {ground_pork}, {ground_beef}, {egg}, {summer_savory}, {cumin}, {black_pepper}, and {kosher_salt}. Mix firmly until the meat turns sticky and cohesive so the {kyufte} hold their shape, then cover and chill.
2. Let the kyufte mixture rest in the refrigerator so the salt seasons deeply and the proteins bind for a juicier, tighter patty.
3. With damp hands, divide and shape the rested mixture into oval patties about the width of your palm, pressing lightly so they stay tender.
4. Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush with {sunflower_oil}, add the patties without crowding, and cook until deeply browned on both sides and the centers reach a safe temperature. Rest briefly so the juices settle.
5. Transfer the hot patties to plates, scatter over {parsley}, and serve with a squeeze of {lemon} for a fresh finish against the rich meat.
