Ingredients

• 17¾ oz ground pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 slices white bread, crusts removed
• A splash of milk (about 3 Tbsp), for soaking the bread
• 1 egg, for the mixture, plus 1 egg, beaten, for coating
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried marjoram
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for coating
• 1 cup breadcrumbs, for coating
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

1. Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then squeeze lightly and crumble it.
2. Combine the pork, onion, garlic, soaked bread, 1 egg, salt, pepper, marjoram, mustard and parsley in a bowl and mix well. Rest for 15 minutes.
3. Shape the mixture into flat oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Coat each patty first in flour, then in the beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs on firmly.
5. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until deep golden and cooked through.
6. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot, traditionally with mashed potatoes and pickles.
