Russian pork kotleti, or pork cutlets seasoned with onion, dill and topped with a creamy gravy. These simple meat patties are a Russian dinner staple. Serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, pasta or cooked buckwheat. You can even enjoy the cutlets without the gravy on sliced bread as a sandwich.

Ingredients

For Meat Patties:
1/2 pound ground pork
1 egg
1 small onion, pureed
2 garlic cloves, very finely minced or crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each: ground black pepper, paprika
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, plus more for coating
For Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 small onion, finely diced
1 small carrot, grated
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
salt, black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions

combine all ingredients required for meat patties and mix well. Use 2 tablespoons per patty, form a small ball first, sprinkle with additional bread crumbs and flatten to a 1/2 inch thick patty. Heat a large pan with several tablespoons of canola oil to medium heat. Fry meat patties for several minutes on each side with pan covered. Keep warm until ready to serve.
For sauce, sauté diced onion, garlic and carrot until golden brown; remove from pan and set aside. Melt butter in same pan and whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute over low heat, then slowly add milk, whisking well after each addition until sauce is to your desired consistency. Add seasonings and sautéed onion mixture. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Serve meat patties and sauce with mashed potatoes or pasta.
note: you can also add mushrooms to the gravy - simple saute with the onion and carrot when making sauce!
