Ingredients (what you need)
500 g ground meat from the shoulder (or mix)
250 g sauerkraut (drained)
1 larger onion
1 teaspoon crushed caraway seeds, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon ground sweet paprika
chili to taste, optional
1 teaspoon marjoram, to taste
lard
Recipe steps
In a piece of lard, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add crushed cumin, let it release its aroma, and then add smaller pieces of chopped cabbage. Fry slowly and stir more frequently. Next, season with paprika, chili, pepper, and marjoram.
Mix the slightly cooled cabbage mixture into the ground meat and mix thoroughly. Season with salt as needed. Do not use any eggs, breadcrumbs, or flour, as it is unnecessary and the full flavor of the meat and cabbage will stand out.
Form patties from the ground mixture approximately the size of your palm, which we fry in a hot lard pan on both sides until golden. Then transfer them to a baking sheet (without greasing the sheet) and briefly finish baking in a preheated oven. If we make the patties thinner and do not fry them over too high heat, we can skip the step of finishing in the oven.
Serve with potatoes of your choice or with fresh bread and mustard.
