Minced meat cutlets with semolina

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry minced meat cutlets with semolina in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. For cutlets, take pork with a little lard. Cut it into pieces and pass through a meat grinder. Place the finished minced meat in the bowl in which you will make the cutlet mass. If you wish, you can buy ready-made minced meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion, rinse in cold water and pass through a meat grinder, following the meat. If you like the onion to be felt in the cutlets, then you can simply chop it finely with a knife. Add the chopped onion to the minced meat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add a little salt and spices to the minced meat to taste. Add some chopped herbs. Any. I use chopped dill. Mix the whole mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then pour the required amount of semolina into the minced meat and add the egg. Wash the egg first using food detergent to remove all dirt. Read the article on this topic for how to choose semolina. There is a link at the end of this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the minced meat well and beat it several times on the bottom of the bowl. To do this, simply lift it with your hands and forcefully throw it into the bowl. When beating, the cutlet mass becomes denser and the cutlets will not fall apart during molding. Leave the finished minced meat to rest for 1 hour. During this time, the semolina will swell a little and absorb excess moisture.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place breadcrumbs on a separate plate. Using your hands, form small patties and roll them in breadcrumbs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat a frying pan for frying cutlets until hot and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Place the formed cutlets in a heated frying pan and fry on both sides over medium heat until golden brown. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read the articles at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   The finished cutlets turn out delicious with a golden crust. You can serve delicious cutlets with semolina with a side dish of mashed potatoes and vegetable salad.

   Bon appetit!

I add semolina to chicken cutlets. But I haven’t tried it with pork. Thanks for the idea.

I decided to make minced meat cutlets with semolina from scraps of pork meat. As for spices, I used only ground black pepper and did not add dill. The resulting minced meat was left in the refrigerator overnight, during which time the semolina swelled well and the minced meat stabilized. I fried the cutlets in flour a little longer than indicated in the recipe. The result was beautiful, appetizing cutlets, semolina is not noticeable at all, and even somehow emphasizes the taste of the meat (and it also seemed to me that with it the cutlets were denser in consistency than with the addition of bread). Thanks for the idea!
