Meatless Sumava Forest Mushroom Patties

01Method

1. 1

   Clean and cut the mushrooms into larger pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat oil in a pot, add the onion and sauté until golden over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, cook briefly, pour in water or stock, cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. 2

   Finely mince the cooled mushrooms (alternatively use a meat grinder for a coarser texture). Season with salt and pepper, press in the garlic, add marjoram and egg. Mix until smooth, gradually adding breadcrumbs until the mixture thickens to the proper consistency.

3. 3

   Using a spoon, portion out the mixture and shape each piece into a patty. Roll each patty in breadcrumbs to coat.

4. 4

   Heat a shallow layer of oil in the pot and fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side over medium heat.

5. 5

   Serve the patties warm or cold alongside traditional bread or boiled potatoes as preferred.
