Kotletki

For this dish, we use the Russian name, although in reality these are just (European-style) hamburgers. The difference to American hamburgers is that in addition to meat, there are eggs, bread crumbs, and, if desired (and the children definitely don't desire) finely chopped onions.

1 package of ground chicken (preferably, for me; of course any other meat can be used)

a little salt

2 eggs

bread crumbs

1 finely (hey, or not so finely, as I prefer; or omit, if cooking for children) chopped onion

mix everything together, and add as much bread crumbs to give it a dough like texture. Make little patties using a soup spoon. The patties should be pretty thick (about 2.5cm (1") and about twice that in diameter).

Pour bread crumbs on a pile in the center of a plate and roll the patties in it. This will make a nice crust.

Fry in hot olive oil for about 6 minutes on each side, turning often.

Not unexpectedly, children like it with a lot of ketchup... great sides are rice and broccoli.
