Pljeskavica is not your average burger.
These Serbian pork and beef patties are full of flavor and they are huge!!!! Serve them inside pita bread with onion, pickles, and national treasures Ajvar and Kajmak!
INGREDIENTS:
For the meat patties:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 lb (450g) ground pork
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- vegetable oil, for frying
For the burger assembly:
- 4 pita bread pockets
- Ajvar
- Kajmak
- onions
- pickles
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a bowl, mix ground beef and pork, salt, sweet paprika, black pepper and sparkling water. Combine with your hands. Brush olive oil on the surface of the meat mixture. It will help us to retain moisture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least few hours or overnight.
Add onions to the meat mixture and mix well. Divide to 4 balls and use your hands to pound it to a thin patty. The size should be about 6-7 inches (15-17cm) in diameter.
Grill or fry your patties for about 3-4 minutes per side or more, if desired. Take pita pockets and assemble your burgers by spreading ajvar and kajmak and adding onions and pickles as desired. Enjoy!
