Method
- 1
Mix the breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and leave for 5 minutes to soak.
- 2
Add the mince, grated onion, the raw egg, half the salt and the pepper. Mix well with your hands for 2 minutes until sticky and even. Chill while you make the filling.
- 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the chopped onion for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the remaining salt and cook for 8 minutes until all the liquid has gone. Cool, then stir in the chopped boiled eggs and dill.
13 min - 4
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Wet your hands and flatten 8 portions of meat into discs about 10 cm wide. Put a spoonful of filling in the middle of each, fold the meat over and pinch shut, then shape into oval patties.
- 5
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a large ovenproof pan. Fry the zrazy for 3 minutes each side until browned.
6 min - 6
Transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, until cooked through with no pink in the middle. Serve with mashed potato or buckwheat and pickled cucumbers.
