It is hard to imagine our table without meat. Tasty and healthy, it must be consumed by both children and adults. It's just that it cooks long enough, the cooking time is at least an hour, and sometimes more. But there are dishes of minced meat. They take much less time. Agree, this is very convenient for an eternally busy housewife.
To cook the minced meat, pass the meat through a meat grinder or scroll in a blender. And you can cook any of the popular dishes familiar to everyone since childhood - dumplings, meatballs, meatballs, meatballs, pies, navy pasta.
Depending on the raw materials, ground beef, beef, pork, chicken. Or mixed (most often mixed beef and pork). As you know, beef is very lean meat, and pork, on the contrary, is too fat. When we mix these two types, we get a middle ground - the stuffing is not very greasy, but not dry either.
How to cook minced meat dishes:
- Add the egg, onion, salt, spices and a little bread soaked in water or milk (better than white, but black is acceptable). You can make cutlets. Just fry them in a pan and serve;
- mix the minced meat with boiled rice. Fry onion and tomato, add to the minced meat. Here you have the stuffing for stuffed peppers;
- Add boiled rice and a little onion. Form balls and simmer them in a pan under the lid. So the hedgehogs are ready;
- Use as a filling for pies. These can be large pies that are baked in the oven, or small fried pies. Add some onions, salt and spices to the minced meat and sculpt them simply and quickly;
- and, of course, dumplings beloved by everyone since childhood.
You can also stew minced meat with cabbage, zucchini and any other vegetables. Recipes with minced meat are in almost every cookbook.
In the cuisines of the world, ground meat dishes are also widely recognized. Try the recipe for European cuisine - Brizol.
The very concept of “brizol” is a cooking method when the filling is fried in an egg or omelet. This dish can be prepared from chicken, fish or minced meat.
Minced meat brisol recipe
We take about a kilogram of combined minced meat, salt, pepper, 1 egg, seasonings.
Mix and divide into 8-10 parts.
We put on a cling film a piece of minced meat, cover it with another piece of film on top and rolls the minced meat into a thin cake.
For one brizoli, take one egg. Beat the egg and salt a little.
Pour the beaten egg onto a flat plate and place the minced tortilla on top.
By this moment we should already have a frying pan ready! That is, heated and lubricated with vegetable oil. Gently transfer the minced egg to the pan. It may not work the first time, but it’s not scary. All comes with experience.
Fry the cake on one side (where the egg is) and turn it over to the other side (where the meat is). Both the egg and the minced meat are fried very quickly. Remove the finished brizol from the pan and proceed to the next.
The recipe can be varied: sprinkle with still hot brizol greens, add grated cheese, garlic, Korean carrots.
Brizol can be eaten as an independent dish, and can be served with a side dish.
An experienced housewife will find her own recipes with minced meat. You can learn a lot of interesting things from friends or relatives.
For example, such subtleties:
- if you add raw onions, as well as spices and herbs to the stuffing, the stuffing will be more tender;
