Romanian Breaded Meat Patties-Parjoale Moldovenesti Recipe

Ground meat patties, meatballs, meat croquettes, and hamburgers exist in one form or another in every type of cuisine. In romania, they are called parjoale and chiftele. Parjoale can be made from beef, pork, lamb or any combination thereof. This recipe is from the province of moldova, to the northeast of romania. The breading keeps the meat exceptionally juicy. Romanians typically make a large quantity of parjoale at one time because they are delicious the next day cold on rye bread with whole-grain mustard, and perfect for picnics or traveling.
