Ingredients
To prepare cutlets you will need:
1 glass of millet porridge;
2 eggs;
a bunch of dill;
green onions;
3 art. l. oatmeal;
salt, pepper - to taste;
vegetable oil for frying.
Cooking steps
Prepare millet groats (preferably in vegetable broth): pour groats (1/2 cup) into a saucepan and pour 1 glass of water. Put on fire and bring to a boil. Then pour the cereal with boiling water into a sieve and rinse well under running water, so we cleaned the cereal with high quality. Now we return the cereal to the saucepan, add salt to taste and fill it with water (1: 2 ratio). Put on medium heat and DO NOT cover with a lid. We observe the cereal, about 10 minutes after boiling, close the saucepan with a lid and turn off the heat. Leave the porridge for 10-15 minutes.
Place the cooled porridge in a large bowl and add 3 tablespoons of oatmeal.
Lastly, beat in the eggs.
Mix all the ingredients, salt, pepper and leave for half an hour.
Form patties and fry in a preheated pan with a little vegetable oil on each side, over low heat until golden brown. Lay the finished meatballs on a paper towel. Delicious, appetizing and healthy cutlets of their millet porridge and herbs can be served at the table.
Recently, the range of products for vegetarians has grown significantly, this is facilitated by the growth of specialized vegetarian shops and cafes. On, which took place on October 1-2, 2016, a wide variety of them was presented. Very often, ready-made products for vegetarians could be seen on sale - sausages, sausages and semi-finished products, in general, everything is like for "ordinary" people :) All this diversity is based on wheat, soy and pea protein. That is, everything ingenious is simple, and if we wish, we can cook something similar in our kitchen. With soy, of course, it’s more difficult, since it is. But peas and wheat can serve us well in this matter. I was very interested in this topic, so I want to start a series of recipes code-named "Homemade Vegetarian Sausage", the first dish will be simple in execution wheat porridge cutlets.
As the name implies, these cutlets are prepared from ready-made wheat porridge. It is better if you have it prepared in advance, then the cooking process will be very fast. So the ingredients are:
- Wheat groats;
- salt;
- garlic;
- spices: ground black pepper, dry ground ginger (you can use other spicy ones);
- frying oil, best ghee ghee.
- breadcrumbs or semolina.
We wash the wheat groats, soak them if desired for several hours (as is customary with cereals), and cook until such a consistency that it is thick enough (therefore, add a little water when cooking), if there is time, let it stand, so it will become thicker, excess moisture is absorbed into the cereal.
Then add salt, spices, garlic, grated. We mix everything well. I added everything by eye, the amount of spices depends on the amount of wheat porridge and on your taste. Wheat porridge has a completely unpronounced taste, so I advise you to add more spices. Be sure to try future cutlets, they should be quite spicy, after cooking their taste will be just right.
After that, we form small cutlets with a thickness of 1 to 2 cm with our hands, lightly roll them in breadcrumbs or semolina, then fry in a pan using ghee. It can be applied with a special silicone brush so that the oil layer is small.
As you know, cutlets are prepared not only from minced meat or fish, but also from vegetables. Cereals are also quite suitable for this culinary product, from which we usually cook cereals or add to soups.
The combination of minced meat or fish, as well as minced poultry meat with vegetables, gives us the opportunity to diversify our diet. Adding various cereals to minced meat or vegetable allows you to change the taste, creating more and more new versions of this tasty and healthy product, which we call cutlets.
Cutlets from cereals are used both in the usual diet and in dietary and baby food. They are good for breakfast or dinner, both for adults and children. Cereal cutlets with the appropriate side dish and sauces are an excellent second course for dinner.
Cooking delicious cutlets from cereals, like cooking all culinary products, has its own subtleties and secrets. And so that your cutlets are always eaten with appetite and praised by the craftswoman who cooked them, this time we will listen to the advice of experienced chefs.
- Cutlets, meatballs are made from viscous and pureed cereals (millet, rice, wheat, semolina ...). Cereals are boiled in a mixture of water with milk or in water. The porridge is cooled to 60-70 degrees, eggs, salt are added, mixed, cutlets or meatballs are formed, breaded in breadcrumbs, fried (or steamed). Served with sour cream, sour cream, mushroom or sweet sauce, jam.
To cook a viscous porridge for cutlets, say, based on 5 servings, you need to take 200 g of cereals (millet, buckwheat, oatmeal, etc.), 800 g of water, 50 g of sugar, salt to taste and 50 g of butter.
For porridge in milk with an equal amount of water from the same calculation, you will need 200 g of cereal, 400 g of water and 400 g of milk, 50 g of sugar, 50 g of butter and salt to taste.
You can cook porridge with pure milk, adding all the other ingredients.
If you are preparing cutlets from cereals for lean meals, then use vegetable oil instead of butter. And instead of eggs to fasten the minced meat, you can add a couple of tablespoons of potato starch or.
If you have any left, but you don’t want to eat it, don’t rush to throw it in the trash. Just cook delicious and healthy cutlets by adding the missing ingredients to the porridge.
