Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick. For uniformity, you can use a measuring cup or a cookie cutter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the pan; it should sizzle.
- Add the patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
- Serve the Krebinetter hot with your choice of side dishes such as boiled potatoes or a fresh salad. For a delightful variation, serve them in a soft burger bun with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite toppings. A drizzle of mustard sauce can elevate the flavors.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- These patties freeze well. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw before cooking.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or dill for a unique flavor profile.
