Pojarski with Lemon Caper Sauce
- 1 pound well chilled ground veal
- 1/2 pound well chilled ground pork
- 3 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 stick unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled capers, chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a food processor blend the veal, pork, 1 cup of bread crumbs, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is combined well and form 1/2 cupfuls of the mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties.
- Have ready in separate bowls the eggs, and the remaining 2 cups bread crumbs.
- Dip the patties, 1 at a time, in the egg, letting the excess drip off, dredge them in the bread crumbs, and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
- Chill the patties on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- In a large heavy skillet heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in the fat saute the patties in batches for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and springy to the touch.
- Transfer the patties as they are cooked to a platter and keep them warm, covered.
- Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and melt it over moderate heat.
- Add the lemon juice and capers and simmer the sauce for 1 minute.
