Pleskavitsa - this is the name of a dish resembling a flat round cutlet. The main ingredient is mixed minced meat (pork + beef). This dish is served hot, with bread, a side dish or hard cheese.

Serbian splash (recipe from local hostesses)

Required ingredients:

• 50 g each of hard and smoked cheese;
• medium bulb;
• 1 kg minced meat of two or three types (for example, veal + pork + beef);
• hot pepper - a couple of pods;

Practical part

1. To begin with, remove the husk from the garlic and onion. What's next? Chop the onion into cubes. And you can just chop the garlic cloves. Rinse peppers with tap water. We extract seeds from it. And the pulp should be crushed.
2. Grate the cheese on a medium or large section of the grater. Quite a bit set aside. You will need this to decorate the dish.
3. Cut the bacon into small pieces.
4. Combine all previously prepared ingredients with minced meat. S alt. Sprinkle with your favorite spices. Be sure to add paprika. Knead the minced meat first with a spoon, then by hand. It needs to be beaten back a little. This will achieve a uniform mass.



5. With clean and wet hands, we begin to sculpt a flat cutlet from our minced meat. Its diameter should be slightly larger than the frying pan in which we will cook the splash. The optimal thickness of the patty is 2-3 cm.
6. Heat the pan by setting the fire to medium. We add a little bit of oil. Place the cutlet carefully. We bend its edges up.
7. How long should the splash be prepared? The recipe calls for 5-7 minutes of frying on each side. As soon as the cutlet is browned, turn it over with a spatula. Is the other side fried too? Then carefully transfer the splash from the pan to a flat plate. You can invite family members to the table. They will certainly appreciate the taste and aroma of the Serbian dish.
