Onion cutlets with semolina

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make onion cutlets? For the first time, I recommend not cooking too many onion cutlets. Still, this is a specific dish. From the specified amount of ingredients I got 8 small cutlets. We take white or yellow onions. We use tomato paste mainly for color. It can be replaced with ketchup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onions and cut off the ends on both sides. I usually peel large quantities of onions while wearing sunglasses :) It looks quite strange, but my eyes cry less!

3. STEP 3

   

   Chop the onion as finely as possible. Rinse the knife periodically under cold running water. This will also help combat watery eyes. It would even be better to chop the onion in a blender. This way the cutlets will definitely be cooked inside.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the onion in a bowl. Add chicken egg, tomato paste (or ketchup) and semolina. The mixture will immediately acquire a pleasant salmon hue.

5. STEP 5

   

   Salt and pepper the mixture, add finely grated garlic. Stir and leave for 20 minutes. at room temperature. During this time, the semolina will swell a little. If the onion produces too much juice, drain it.

6. STEP 6

   

   Form small cutlets from the onion mass and fry in sunflower oil on both sides until golden brown. You can add a little water and simmer the cutlets until cooked. The onion inside should become soft, it should not crunch at all.

7. STEP 7

   

   The finished cutlets can be placed on paper towels to absorb excess oil, but this is not necessary.

I know the recipe for semolina porridge cutlets, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in this version! I'm interested in the recipe and will experiment.

The dish is intended for true onion connoisseurs! Very easy to prepare, using affordable products, budget cutlets that turn out golden and very juicy, even taste sweet. But be careful, not everyone will like such cutlets, but most likely only true onion lovers. Pros: - Easy and quick to prepare (to make it even faster, I did not cut the onion by hand, but crushed it in a blender). - Budget-friendly. - Data The cutlets turn out tender and juicy, due to the addition of semolina to them - airy. Minus: - They have a rather unusual taste (I would even say peculiar), which not everyone will appreciate. I think they will appeal to those who love onion rings in batter. Conclusion: Until you try, you won’t form your opinion about this dish, because these cutlets are like nothing else, and it’s quite difficult to describe what their taste is. You'll either like them or you won't.
