Instruction manual
1
Peel one onion and chop finely. Rinse 500 grams of young veal or pork under cold water, cut it into small pieces and twist through a meat grinder (you can use ready-made minced meat, but not thawed). Transfer the minced meat into a deep bowl and add the chopped onion, one chicken egg, salt and ground black pepper to taste there. Mix everything thoroughly into a homogeneous mass.
2
Prepare the mushroom stuffing for cutlets. To do this, wipe the mushrooms well with a paper towel; if porcini mushrooms are used for cooking, rinse them well. Cut the dark bottom of the legs of the mushrooms and cut them into small slices or cubes. Preheat the pan and lightly fry the champignons (porcini mushrooms) in 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, but do not bring to full readiness. Peel one medium onion and one carrot. Finely chop the onion, and grate the carrots. Fry in two tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add the vegetables to the mushrooms and mix.
3
Take some minced meat and form a circle from it with a diameter of about 14-15 centimeters and a thickness of 0.5 centimeters. In the middle, put 1-2 tablespoons of mushroom filling, gently connect the edges so that the filling does not fall out and give them the shape of cutlets or a ball. Press lightly on top and roll in breadcrumbs. Fry the patties on both sides with 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Serve the patties with garnish on the table, pouring them on top with white sauce or sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs.
note
Porcini mushrooms spoil very quickly, so for cooking cutlets it is best to use the ones collected no more than 5 hours ago.
Useful advice
Instead of eggs and onions, you can add a piece of white bread or loaf soaked in milk, weighing about 100 grams, into the minced meat.
