Serbian Pljeskavica (Hamburgers) image

Pljeskavica (PLYESS-kah-vee-tsah) are Serbian hamburgers popular in one form or another throughout the Balkans.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground lamb
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 c finely chopped onions
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp parika (sweet or hot, your choice)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate for several hours for flavors to meld and mixture to firm.
  • 2. Heat grill. Using slightly dampened hands, divide meat mixture into 6 portions. Form into thin patties, 9 inches by 1/2 inch or about the size of a small dinner plate.
  • 3. Grill, broil or pan fry pljeskavica about 7 minutes per side. Indoor grills work well, too. Serve with green onions or chopped raw onion, tomatoes, pogacha and Serbian potato salad or cole slaw on the side. Some Serbs place the patty on a large bun like an American hamburger.

I tried this recipe and the burgers were dry and overcooked. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.
