Lemon juice, butter, and spices add flavor and juiciness to these veal patties. They're delicious served in buns with your favorite burger fixings or along with potatoes or noodles.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground veal
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Dash ground black pepper
  • 1 egg (beaten with 2 tablespoons water)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (fine, dry, unseasoned)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine ground veal, butter, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg, and pepper; shape into 6 veal patties.

  2. Dip patties into egg and water mixture then into breadcrumbs.

  3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Brown coated veal patties on both sides in hot oil; reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until veal patties are done.

  4. Serve "as is" with potatoes or other side dishes, or as a burger in a sandwich.
