Fried food
What is fried minced meat? Her recipes are quite original. The most common ground meat dish is cutlets. Besides minced meat, they usually include onions (fried or raw), pepper and salt soaked in milk or water, and then pressed wheat stale bread. Many cooks add an egg to the minced meat.
Bread should be half as much as minced meat. It can be replaced with breadcrumbs, oatmeal or semolina, if desired. Instead of bread, some add potato grated on a fine grater.
Stuffing is mixed thoroughly, breaded in breadcrumbs or flour, and then fried in boiling oil in a pan. Cutlets can be cooked in the oven. You can also put crushed vegetables, spices, garlic into the cutlet mass. All these additives are in perfect harmony with the taste of minced meat.
Cutlets can be cooked from fish or poultry. But they need a denser breading so that juice does not flow from them. And in the middle of each cutlet you can wrap some stuffing. As a result, you concoct zrazy. To create the filling, you can take:
- cheese;
- boiled chopped eggs;
- tomato sauce;
- chopped mushrooms fried;
- crumbled ham or smoked meat.
Zrazy must be cooked in the same way as cutlets. Since the filling is ready in advance, it is not necessary to increase the heat treatment time.
Braised and boiled foods
Many are familiar with recipes made from minced meat. Meatballs, steam cutlets, dumplings, meatballs - all these dishes are considered dietary, as they are boiled in liquid, and not fried like cutlets.
The dumplings are cooked from very soft, almost liquid and very well ground meat. Minced meat for meatballs also need a couple of times through a meat grinder to skip. Meatballs themselves should be identical in parameters to cherries - so they will not fall apart during cooking. Steam cutlets, as the name implies, are steamed. They have a richer flavor than meatballs.
Meatballs differ from other minced meat products in that cereals are placed in them - most often rice, but options are possible here. Often, meatballs are first fried and then stewed in sauce. If the dish is prepared for babies or for those who adhere to a diet, you can do without preliminary frying.
All these dishes, as a rule, are cooked from low-fat veal or ground beef. But there is room for experimentation. For example, meatballs made from turkey, rabbit, chicken meat are suitable for baby food. Knels are often cooked from fish.
Typically, water, onions, breadcrumbs (or semolina) and spices are added to the meat for meatballs, steam cutlets and meatballs. Before cooking mincemeat, it is best to let it brew so that the semolina becomes soft and swollen.

To create a roll, you need to take 1.5 kg of minced meat, mix with pepper, salt, egg and soaked bread, crumbled onions. First, the resulting mass must be spread out in an even layer on cellophane. Next, the filling is laid out on top. Here you can dream up - mushrooms, boiled whole eggs, slices of vegetables and meat, cheese and even pasta. When you put the filling in, carefully roll the roll and pinch its edges. Then the roll is greased with an egg and baked in the oven.
Stuffing is also suitable for creating various casseroles. It must be mixed with potatoes (raw grated, boiled in the form of mashed potatoes), any vegetables, pasta, cooked cereals. Casserole can be crushed on top with cheese.
Since the options for the fillings can be infinitely varied, the mincemeat can be taken differently and prepared differently (pre-stew or fry, put in the casserole raw).
