4 servings

Instructions

  1. Put the mince in a bowl and season with salt and pepper (not too sparingly) and nutmeg.

  2. Add the finely chopped onion and the soaked, torn-up bread roll. Add the garlic, mustard, parsley and egg and knead everything by hand into a dough. It is important that everything is well mixed.

  3. Set aside and heat a large pan. Heat clarified butter or rapeseed oil in it and shape small patties from the mixture.

  4. Put them in the pan and sear briefly over high heat. Turn them and turn the heat down to 8-9 (a matter of experience).

  5. Turn several times; it takes about 10 minutes depending on size. Just cut one open to check it is cooked through.
