Instructions

  1. Finely grate the onion and squeeze it to remove its water. Chop the fish with a knife or briefly blend it, removing the bones.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground meat, fish, grated onion, the soaked and well-squeezed bread, the egg, the cream, salt, pepper and paprika.
  3. Shape oval cutlets about 1.5 cm thick with wet hands.
  4. Dip them in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and brown the sichenyky for 4 minutes on each side.
  6. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes so the center is well cooked.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with sautéed potatoes.

Variations and tips

Meat-only version. Replace the fish with 200 g of extra pork for a more classic texture.
