  1. Dzień dobry! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation: a recipe for the Polish Burger with Kotlet Mielony, crispy boczek, and a unique smoky Polish burger sauce. We all love burgers, but have you ever tried a Polish gobsmacker? Served in a crunchy brioche bun with juicy tomato, crisp lettuce, sweet Polish gherkins, and caramelized onion rings, it’s absolutely fantastic! Smacznego!

    # Kotlet Mielony Ingredients:

    * 500 g pork mince – preferably shoulder
    * 2 medium onions – small diced
    * 4 garlic cloves – minced
    * 8 g salt – approximately 1 ½ teaspoons
    * 40 g breadcrumbs
    * 1 large egg
    * 1 teaspoon black pepper
    * 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    * ½ cup 120 ml oil, for shallow frying

    # Additional Burger Ingredients:

    * 6 brioche buns
    * 300 g Polish bacon – boczek, sliced into 6 pieces
    * 6 Lettuce large leaves
    * 1 beef tomato – sliced into 6 rings
    * 2 onions – peeled and sliced into rings
    * Polish gherkin – sliced

    # Polish Burger Sauce:

    * 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
    * 2 tablespoons ketchup
    * 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish – adjust to taste
    * 1 tablespoon gherkin pickle juice
    * 1 teaspoon Sarepska mustard – or your preferred mustard
    * ½ teaspoon liquid smoke

    # Prepare the Kotlet Mielony:

    1. In a small pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they become soft and translucent, then continue cooking until they start to brown a little. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
    2. In a large bowl, combine pork mince, sautéed onions, minced garlic, salt, breadcrumbs, egg, black pepper, and dried marjoram. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well incorporated.
    3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a round, flat patty about 1.5 cm (½ inch) thick.
    4. Heat the remaining oil for shallow frying over medium heat. Fry 3 patties at a time, cooking each side for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with the remaining patties.
