Instruction manual
1
To begin, prepare the filling for the casserole. Peel the onions and cut into cubes. Take a frying pan and heat it. Pour in the sunflower oil and, when it is hot, put the minced meat and fry until it brightens (about 3-5 minutes). Add onions, mix and fry for another 2-3 minutes. At the end, add ground black pepper and salt to taste.
2
Remove the husk from the garlic clove. Then chop it finely or crush it through a press. And then add to the minced meat. When the meat is fried, transfer it to a separate bowl. Clarification: if you have another deep frying pan, mincemeat can not be shifted.
3
In the meantime, peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into thin circles no more than 2 mm thick. Rinse the freed pan after minced meat (or another deep one), wipe and grease with sunflower oil, including the sides.
4
Put half the chopped potatoes in 1-2 layers on the bottom, salt it and pepper. Next, lay the minced meat, which you need to cover with the remaining potato circles. We also salt them, add a pinch of black pepper and grease with sour cream (using a culinary brush or just a spoon).
5
If you have champignons (you can also without them), cut into thin plates and evenly distribute them on the surface of the potato.
6
Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater and sprinkle them with a casserole. Now prepare the fill. Break the chicken eggs into a separate small bowl, beat them lightly with a fork. Then pour in kefir (or milk, cream) and mix. Fill the casserole with the resulting mass.
7
The workpiece is formed. Now put the pan on the stove and cook at minimum temperature with the lid closed for 20 minutes until the potatoes are ready.
8
When the casserole is ready, remove it from the stove, arrange in portions and serve with vegetable salad, pickles, as well as fresh chopped herbs (green onions or dill).
