This wonderfully simple recipe was sent to us by our reader Martina Klasnová, who inherited it from her grandpa. His meat patties are more flavourful than the classic version – thanks to a few easy little tweaks.
Mix the minced meat, eggs, onion, garlic, mustard, ketchup and seasoning in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and knead thoroughly.
Finally, add the breadcrumbs gradually. The mixture should be just right – neither too loose nor too stiff, so that you can shape it into balls easily.
Shape into patties roughly the size of your palm.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the patties on both sides until golden brown.
