Leeks form the base of this dish, balancing their sweetness with the aromatic dill kneaded into the patties.
Preparation & Cooking time: 60'
Serves: 6
DIRECTIONS
Simmer leeks, barely covered with water, in a saucepan for 20 minutes. Strain when soft and place to one side for about 30 minutes so they release excess juices.
Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead well, then shaping into patties about the size of a small egg. In a deep frying pan, heat about 3cm worth of olive oil over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Serve hot as an appetizer with a sauce of yoghurt and hot paprika.

- 2 large leeks, cut into rolls
- 250 gr lean beef mince
- 2 eggs, raw and beaten
