Small patties the size of a mini bun that every kid assembles themselves at the table. The patties stay juicy thanks to the grated onion and breadcrumbs.
⏱ 34 min🍽 12 servings 🌍 Israeli👩🍳 Afoona🧩 2 parts
Mix the ground meat with the onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
2
Shape the mixture into 12 flat round patties 6 cm across. Press your thumb into the center of each patty so it doesn't puff up as it cooks.
To assemble
3
Heat the wide skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle the olive oil over it.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
4
Fry the meatballs in batches of 6, 3 minutes per side, until there's no pink inside.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
5
Slice the tomatoes and cucumber thinly and tear the lettuce into small squares.

6
Halve the buns and toast them 30 seconds in the dry pan.

7
Set out the buns and the patties on serving plates, with the tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce in separate bowls, so everyone can assemble their own. Stick a long toothpick into each burger before eating.
