How to cook cutlets in a double boiler - recipe
To prepare meatballs in a double boiler, you need to make stuffing. We take the chicken fillet, cut it into small portions and scroll in a meat grinder, boil the rice until half cooked, then rinse thoroughly. Combine rice with fillet, add one egg, spices and salt to taste. Knead the minced meat thoroughly.
At the next stage, we cut the onions into small pieces, chop fresh herbs, add all this to the minced meat, then pour the milk into it, thoroughly knead it. As soon as the mass is ready, carefully “beat off” the minced meat and form neat balls.
Put the finished patties in a double boiler, after which we set the timer for no more than 30 minutes. For chicken, this is the best time.

When the buckwheat porridge is cooked, put it on a plate in the shape of a butterfly, lay cutlets on top also in the form of wings and the body of a butterfly.
