Kotleti

Tear the white bread into pieces and soak in ½ cup of milk in a small bowl until fully saturated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, grated onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
Once the bread has absorbed the milk, add it to the meat mixture and knead gently with your hands until fully incorporated.
Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, take two scoops of meat mixture stacked together and form into a football-shaped patty. Wet your hands if needed. Repeat until all the meat is shaped.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Arrange patties in a circle, filling the middle afterward, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Add extra oil if necessary and avoid pressing the patties.
Lower the heat, add water and butter to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the patties simmer gently for 5 minutes. If cooked in batches, combine all patties before simmering.
Serve the kotleti over mashed potatoes or buckwheat, top with tomato gravy and fresh herbs, and enjoy alongside pickles.
