Step 1 of 6
Fašírky (Slovak Meat Patties)
Soak the bread slices in milk or water until soft. Squeeze out the excess liquid and mash into crumbs.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, garlic, soaked bread, egg and all the seasonings (salt, pepper, marjoram, mustard, parsley). Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3
Take portions of the mixture and shape into palm-sized patties, flattening them slightly for even cooking.
Step 4
Set up three bowls: flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Dust each patty in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, cabbage salad or fresh bread, and mustard, pickles or garlic sauce on the side.
