Fritters made of Minced meat

Updated: Apr 22

  • Serbian and Leskovac-style fritters - Uštipci, very tasty and soft, an excellent choice for those who like fast food and delicious dishes! For this fritter's preparation, it would be good to make the mixture one day before baking. Because in this way the meat will absorb all the ingredients you have mixed in, thus the meat will be tastier and more beautiful. The meat is soft inside and crispy on the outside. It is widely known that the people of Leskovac are number one in the world for making good burgers, kebabs and mućkalica, so here is one of my favorite recipes, how I prepare it. Follow instructions.

Ingredients: simple, preparation time: 35 minutes, standing time: 2h, 6 serving
  • 620 g minced meat/ pork, beef

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon pepper/or to taste

  • 1. 5 teaspoon dry spice/ Vegeta

  • 1 bag baking powder/ 10 g

  • 250 g flour

  • 1 teaspoon hot crushed pepper/ optional

  • 1 teaspoon red ground pepper

  • 50 g breadcrumbs

  • 200 ml natural water

  • fresh parsley/ finely chopped/ or dry 1 teaspoon

  • 2-3 medium cloves of garlic/ minced

For Frying:

  • vegetable oil / or lard(I have used lard)

Preparation:
  1. First prepare all the ingredients from the description above.

  2. Mix all the ingredients in a deep bowl except the water. Combine the ingredients well to make a compact mixture. You will add water at the end.

  3. Mixing this mixture during about 15 minutes because the ingredients must be well combined.

  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest overnight. If you really can't wait, then leave it in the fridge for 1-2 hour.

  5. Pour a lot of oil into a deep pan, about 300 ml. When the oil has become hot, take out the fritters with a small spoon and with the help of another spoon put them on the hot oil. Press a little pinch with a spoon.

  6. Make sure you do it quickly because it will stay hot at the same time.

  7. Fry them until they are golden brown on all sides.

  8. Take them out with a slotted spoon, place them on a kitchen towel on a vessel to absorb excess fat and cover.

  9. Serve with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, spinach, rice or any other vegetable you like.

Buon appetito!


NOTE: If you have leftover mixture from the one you have used, cover it with nylon foil and store it until tomorrow. With this dish, you can combine baked potatoes, young potatoes, broccoli, spinach, and rice. The shape is not important with these fritters!
