These Mediterranean-style beef patties are a flavorful twist on classic hamburgers, featuring aromatic spices and a delightful texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, diced tomatoes, canned tomato, cumin, oregano, egg, red wine, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed to create a consistent flavor throughout the patties.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping the patties.
Coat each patty lightly with flour, shaking off any excess.
Use a shallow dish for the flour to make coating the patties easier.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the patties to achieve a crispy exterior.
Fry the patties in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or warm pita bread.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
