Preparation
- Step 1
Place the veal and pork in a mixing bowl.
- Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan and add ¾ cup chopped onion and paprika. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, about 3 minutes without browning. Let cool.
- Step 3
Combine the ground meats, cooked onions, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, ½ cup of the chicken broth, the nutmeg, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend well with your hands.
- Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 portions of equal weight. Shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each into a patty and coat the patties with the remaining ½ cup bread crumbs.
- Step 5
Heat the corn oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the patties in one layer. Cook the patties until lightly browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook about 3 minutes on the second side or until done. Transfer the patties to a warm platter and keep them warm.
- Step 6
Meanwhile, heat a smaller skillet and add the butter and the remaining ¼ cup chopped onions. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until wilted. Add the vodka, vinegar, remaining ½ cup broth and bring to a boil. Add the sour cream and tomato paste. Cook about 2 minutes. Add the dill and lemon juice, blend well with a wire whisk and pour over the patties. Serve immediately.
