- In a big bowl bring together raw minced meat, cooked minced meat, spices, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix everything well.
- Add rice, and half of the lightly whisked egg and mix again until everything comes together.
- If you have time let it rest in the fridge for half an hour and shape it into oval big, a bit flattened patties.
