Carrot cutlets made from boiled carrots like in kindergarten

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make carrot cutlets from boiled carrots? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose carrots that are juicy and fresh, not limp. You need a large, selected egg.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the carrots well, peel and grate on a coarse grater. The net weight of carrots after processing should be 500 g, so take the vegetable with a reserve.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the carrots in a saucepan or thick-bottomed pan. Pour in the milk, add sugar, salt, and add a piece of butter.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything and simmer, stirring, over low heat under the lid until the carrots are soft and the moisture has evaporated. It took me about 25 minutes. It is important to periodically check whether the carrots are burnt on the bottom, so you need to mix thoroughly and to the bottom so that you can see how much liquid is left and how long you still need to simmer.

5. STEP 5

   

   As a result, all the liquid should evaporate. As you can see in the photo, at the bottom of the pan, if you move the carrots to the side, there is no milk or juice from the carrots.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the cooked carrots to a bowl and cool at room temperature. If you see that there is excess moisture left in the carrots, you can lightly squeeze them.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour and semolina to the carrot mixture and beat in the egg.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything thoroughly and let stand for 20 minutes so that the semolina swells. You should get a thick, sticky mass.

9. STEP 9

   

   Form a medium-sized patty from the minced carrots and roll in breadcrumbs on all sides. If the mass sticks too much to your hands and falls apart, moisten them with water.

10. STEP 10

    

    Form all other cutlets in the same way. I got 6 pieces.

11. STEP 11

    

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan, place the cutlets and fry on both sides until golden brown.

12. STEP 12

    

    Transfer the finished cutlets to a plate and serve immediately. I served it with vanilla milk sauce (see recipe below) - this is exactly what we were served in kindergarten for various casseroles, pancakes and cheesecakes. And the cutlets with it turn out simply unimaginably delicious. Bon appetit!

Today I made carrot cutlets for the kids from boiled carrots just like in kindergarten. The recipe is simple and detailed, which I really liked. I replaced milk with regular clean water for personal reasons. After the mass was ready, I let it stand. Formed the cutlets with wet hands. I didn’t roll it in breadcrumbs, I fried it without any breading at all. The children appreciated the carrot cutlets. I served them with jam. Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
