👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, grated onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the onion is finely grated to release its moisture and flavor without leaving large chunks.
2. 2

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

   💡 전문가 팁: Avoid overmixing, which can make the fritters tough.
3. 3

   Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

   💡 전문가 팁: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
4. 4

   Carefully drop spoonfuls of the meat mixture into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches.

   💡 전문가 팁: Use two spoons to shape the fritters into roughly 1-inch balls or oval shapes.
5. 5

   Fry the uštipci for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. They should float to the surface when done.

   💡 전문가 팁: Adjust heat as needed to maintain oil temperature and prevent burning.
6. 6

   Remove the cooked uštipci with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

   💡 전문가 팁: Allow them to drain for a minute before transferring to a serving platter.
7. 7

   Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. These are delicious on their own or with a side of yogurt or ajvar.

   💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
