One of our favorites growing up were Kotlety. We used to call them Russian hamburgers. A recipe for a more Russian version of these is in our cookbook but I wanted to share this recipe that has a Persian twist.
Head over to the Mennonite Girls Can Cook Blog to see the recipe today.
Photobucket replaced all my photos with blurred out versions and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.

I think that most cultures must have a form of these – we call them frikadeller. Sometimes they’re big and sometimes they’re more golf-ball sized. I server them with boiled potatoes, peas and onion gravy.
Love those Russian hamburgers of my childhood! They were always served with potatoes and gravy and vegetables…and never in a bun!
