Not sure about spelling. But that is what some people call them, some call them simple cutlets. But no matter what you call them the result is yummy.
1 lb beef chuck
About half a cup of chicken fat (or the other white meat fat)
(Or use the other white meat, then you do not need extra fat)
(As a special treat for younger kids make the same from chicken or turkey only meat)
1 small onion
2-3-4 = 1 or 2 more for latter seasoning cloves of garlic
1 egg
1 slice of white bread, soaked in water and squeezed
Salt, pepper to taste.
A little oil for frying.
Using meat grinder grind everything together, make sure bread goes into meat grinder last. Add one egg, salt and pepper and mix everything well. Shape into elongated form, kind of so it fits into a palm of your hand.
Fry covered on medium heat on both sides. While frying put couple of garlic cloves thru garlic pres or chop somewhat finely. When ready put the cutlets into container and sprinkle with the chopped garlic (optional). Cover tightly, let it seat for few minutes, serve. Goes perfect with mashed potato and a pickle, if you are Russian shut of vodka is a must.
Commonly found on a Russian diner table.
P.S. the trick is to grind meat your self and not to buy already ground stuff, it will never be the same.
