Semolina cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make semolina cutlets? Prepare your food. Semolina cutlets are usually served with gravy in the form of berry jelly. Therefore, first of all, cook the jelly. Prepare food for him. Any berries for jelly are suitable; you can use both fresh and frozen. I have cranberry, it’s a classic combination. Add sugar to taste; the more sour the berry, the more sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a saucepan, pour 500 ml of water into it and place on high heat. As soon as the water boils, add the berries to it. Wait for the water to boil again and remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover it with a lid and leave for 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then place the berries on a sieve and return the broth to the saucepan. Rub the berries through a sieve using a silicone spatula. It’s more convenient to do this directly into the saucepan; you’ll dirty less dishes. Light the fire under the saucepan again. Pour sugar into it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour starch into a separate bowl. You can take either potato or corn, the latter will need twice as much. Fill it with 100 ml of water taken from the total amount. Mix well.

5. STEP 5

   

   While continuously stirring with a whisk, pour the diluted starch into the berry broth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cook the jelly, stirring, until it boils. It will thicken and begin to bubble. As soon as this happens, turn off the fire. leave the jelly to cool.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next, work on the cutlets directly. From this amount of products you will get 4 cutlets, take this into account when preparing, take more products if necessary. Milk of any fat content is suitable, you can dilute it with water. Before frying, you can roll the cutlets in either breadcrumbs or flour. But it’s better to fry not in pure butter, but in a mixture of it with vegetable oil. You don't have to add raisins.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cook semolina porridge. How to cook porridge? Take a thick-bottomed saucepan, pour milk into it, add sugar and salt. Place the saucepan over low heat and bring the milk to a boil. Pour semolina into the milk in a thin stream. To prevent lumps from forming in the porridge, do this with continuous stirring; it is better to use a whisk for this purpose.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cook the porridge for just a short time, a couple of minutes is enough. It will thicken quickly and become difficult to mix. As soon as this happens, turn off the heat and leave the porridge to cool. While the porridge is cooling, pour boiling water over the raisins for 10-15 minutes. Then place it in a sieve and rinse well.

10. STEP 10

    

    When the porridge has cooled, add steamed raisins to it. Beat in the egg. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Add flour and mix all products thoroughly. You should get a thick viscous mass. You can also add vanillin to it with the tip of a knife.

11. STEP 11

    

    Form it into small round patties. To prevent the porridge from sticking to your hands, wet them with cold water.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place breadcrumbs (or flour) into a flat plate. Roll the cutlets in them.

13. STEP 13

    

    Heat a frying pan over low heat. Place butter on it and melt it. I always add a little vegetable oil to the butter, then the oil will not burn when frying. Place the breaded cutlets into the pan.

14. STEP 14

    

    Fry them until golden brown on both sides, this will take about 5 minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Serve semolina cutlets with berry jelly. Bon appetit!

I liked it so much that I immediately cooked it, although I had to replace the raisins with prunes. It was eaten instantly, although it would have been better (sweeter) with raisins, and the prunes gave at least a pleasant, but sour, tang. Well, very tasty .. in gratitude for the photo. Thanks to my husband for it: he hid three things and I managed to fix the camera and click.
