Homemade meat patties from minced meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use any ground meat for the patties: pork, beef, chicken, or their mixtures. Add fresh herbs, vegetables, sauces, spices, etc. to the meat mixture according to your preference. The main thing is to thoroughly knead the meat mixture so that the patties hold their shape. After flipping, be sure to steam them covered with a lid so they cook thoroughly inside. Serve hot.
