👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Finely chop the fish fillets by hand or pulse them in a food processor until they form a coarse mince. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Some recipes suggest grinding the fish twice for a smoother texture, but a coarser mince is also traditional. - 2
In a bowl, combine the minced fish, finely chopped onion, squeezed bread, egg, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the bread is well-drained to avoid making the mixture too wet. - 3
Shape the fish mixture into oval or round patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly dredge each patty in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Wet hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping. - 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the floured sichenyky into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Work in batches if necessary to maintain a consistent frying temperature. - 5
Fry the sichenyky for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
⏱️ 8-10 minutes per batch💡 Profesjonelle tips: Reduce heat if they are browning too quickly. - 6
Remove the cooked sichenyky from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Serve immediately while hot.
