    Title: Favorite Sichenyky
    Categories: Beef, Pork, Ukrainian, Veal
    Yield: 1 Batch

    3/4 c Dry bread crumbs
    1 c Milk; or more
    1/2 lb Ground beef
    1/2 lb Ground veal
    1/2 lb Lean ground pork
    1 sm Onion; grated
    1 Egg; slightly beaten
    Salt & pepper
    Dry bread crumbs; sifted
    Butter

    These sichenyky (patties) made of a combination of beef veal, and
    pork are a favorite standby in Ukrainian homes. They are really worth
    a trial. The liberal use of liquid in the mixture keeps the meat
    tender-moist. Use this recipe for plain or stuffed zrazy (meat balls).

    Put the bread crumbs into a deep bowl, add the milk and let the
    mixture stand for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except
    the sifted bread crumbs and butter. Mix thoroughly. Season the
    mixture to taste with salt & pepper. Shape into flat patties, dip in
    the bread crumbs, and criss-cross the entire surface of each patty
    with the back of a knife. Lift each patty with a spatula and brown
    lightly on both sides in the hot butter. Other fat may be used, but
    butter gives a superior flavor. Do not attempt to cook too many
    patties at a time. They should not be overcrowded in the pan. Remove
    the partially cooked patties to a baking dish and continue cooking
    the remaining ones. When all are done, cover them and finish cooking
    in a moderate oven (350?F) for about 25 minutes. Serve at once with
    creamed mushrooms or any favorite sauce.
