About

Fritas is the name given to mini sized hamburgers, eaten on the go all over Cuba. They are sold by street vendors and they make the ideal snack food. I like to serve these burgers with spicy plantain chips, known affectionately as chilli willies! Allow two burgers per person.

Method

Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. In a bowl gently combine both meats with the breadcrumbs. Add all the remaining ingredients, mix well together but do not overwork. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Divide the mix into 8 small, evenly sized burgers, brush liberally with the oil.
