Rice cutlets with mushrooms. Lenten cutlets made from rice and mushrooms. Fresh mushroom cutlets with rice

Orthodox Lent is coming soon. And many of those who intend to endure it will be faced with a lack of imagination and will begin to look for ideas for Lenten dishes.

It’s a bit difficult in the first and last weeks. At least this happened to me before when I observed Lent.

At this time, you want to deceive the body and slip it something like that instead of meat or a cutlet...

Today I will show you one such recipe, we will make it with you lean cutlets from rice and mushrooms.

Compound

round rice - 2/3 cup

flour - 2/3 cup

champignons – 200 gr

carrots - 1 pc.

onion - 1 pc.

We need mushrooms, carrots and onions for frying. We made this kind of frying for stuffed pancakes and champignon caps. True, in the recipe for stuffed hats we then added grated cheese.

Don’t let the photo confuse you... The products you see on it were used in equal parts for two dishes. These are stuffed pancakes and, in fact, cutlets made from rice and mushrooms.

Preparation

The minced meat of our cutlets will consist of rice, flour and fried mushrooms.

First of all, let's cook the rice. I cook it by simmering, and it takes me 20-25 minutes, depending on the rice.

Place a saucepan on the stove, add rice, pour a glass* of water, and add salt. We wait for it to boil and reduce the temperature to minimum. We simmer for about twenty minutes. Please take a look for more details.

If you cook rice the usual way, you will need a little more water.

While the rice is cooking, let's chop the mushrooms, onions and carrots. I cut the onions and carrots into small pieces, and the mushrooms a little larger.

Place the frying pan and begin to fry the onions, carrots and mushrooms at the same time. I salt immediately so that the mushrooms and vegetables release water. If you want, you can add spices. I don’t do this so as not to interrupt the smell of mushrooms.

While we were frying, we cooked rice. Now we need to cool everything down. On my balcony it took 20 minutes.

Let's start making minced meat for our cutlets.

Pour the rice and frying into a large mixing container.

Add flour and mix well.

It should look like minced meat. Although rice has its own stickiness, flour will make the mushrooms less slippery and will hold together better in the mixture. In addition, flour will make the use of breading unnecessary.

The minced meat needs to be kept for a little while so that the flour has time to absorb moisture. Five minutes will be enough. During this time, prepare a plate of clean water to wet your hands. Without water, making cutlets will be problematic.

Place a frying pan with olive oil on the stove, the temperature is above medium. While it heats up, make the cutlets.

We send it to the frying pan. When the pan is hot, each side will cook for about five minutes. But it depends on the stove and frying pan. So, be careful not to overcook :)

Fried on both sides and ready to serve.

These cutlets can be eaten without a side dish, but it will be better if you add more fresh herbs and vegetables.

That's all for today.

I wish you good health and good appetite!

Mushrooms are a real gift for any cook. The number of delicious and healthy dishes that can be prepared from them is amazing. They are also used to make cutlets that are in no way inferior to meat cutlets, but have a special taste unique to this product.

For this dish you can use any mushrooms: fresh, boiled, dried. The choice depends on the recipe and the availability of the required product.

Champignons or oyster mushrooms, which are often on sale, can be fried without boiling and then used to make cutlets. Mushrooms collected in the forest tend to spoil quickly. Therefore, they should be sorted and boiled immediately. Leaving the required amount for immediate preparation, it is better to freeze the rest for the future.

Let's try to make cutlets from boiled mushrooms.

Recipe for boiled mushroom cutlets

As when preparing meat cutlets, you will have to add binding elements to the minced mushroom so that the products do not disintegrate during frying. Various ingredients can serve as this: eggs, cereals, breadcrumbs, bread soaked in water, milk or cream, and even cheese.

There are recipes according to which cutlets are prepared only from minced mushrooms, but there are many options for combining them with various types of meat, potatoes or buckwheat.

For boiled mushroom cutlets, any edible forest mushrooms are suitable; oyster mushrooms and champignons are also suitable.

For 600 g of already boiled mushrooms you will need:

  • a glass of milk;
  • 300 g stale bread;
  • 3 cups breadcrumbs;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 1-2 onions;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of sour cream.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. The specific mushroom taste and smell is lost if a lot of spices are added to the dish. Therefore, it is better not to abuse them.

Forest mushrooms need to be sorted out, discarding doubtful ones, and soaked in water for 30 minutes to make the soil easier to wash out. Boil them in salted water for 20-25 minutes. The water should completely cover them.

Well-strained mushrooms should be minced through a meat grinder, adding bread soaked in milk and chopped onions. Add the remaining ingredients to the minced meat, salt and season with pepper, mix thoroughly. Let the minced meat harden for half an hour in the cold. If it remains liquid, we achieve thickness with flour.

With wet hands, cut the minced meat into cutlets and thoroughly bread them in breadcrumbs. Fry the cutlets in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil until a golden brown crust forms. These potato cutlets are good in any form.

Once I was preparing a wonderful salad of crab sticks and somehow did not calculate the amount of ingredients, as a result of which there was still a little boiled rice left in the pan. I didn’t want to throw it away or put it in the refrigerator for storage, so I decided to make something delicious out of it. Thinking about which “rice” recipe to choose, I suddenly remembered that I had long wanted to cook wonderful mushroom cutlets with rice, which my friend so often cooks. The taste and aroma of this dish are simply wonderful, and I highly recommend that you cook these cutlets!

To prepare cutlets with rice, you can use both fresh, frozen or dried mushrooms. You can prepare minced meat from absolutely any mushrooms at your discretion. The only thing you should know and remember is that different types of mushrooms may require different pre-treatments. Mushroom cutlets with rice can be served with fresh vegetables or

Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly and cover with water for 2 hours, then boil (40 minutes). Remove the mushrooms, but do not pour out the broth - it will still be useful for the sauce.

Boil the rice until cooked, drain the water.

Grind rice and mushrooms in a blender.

You should get a brown homogeneous mass.

The less water there is in the rice and mushrooms, the thicker the minced meat. Ideally, the cutlets can be formed by hand, but if it turns out too watery, you will have to spoon it into the pan.

Add egg, seasonings, and salt to this mixture. Mix everything thoroughly again.

Roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs or flour (or just scoop them with a spoon) and place in a frying pan with hot vegetable oil.

Fry on each side until cooked (until a crispy crust appears). Prepare the sauce separately. To do this, heat the oil in a frying pan, add a tablespoon of flour to it and grind it all until smooth. Then begin to gradually introduce the mushroom broth, constantly stirring the sauce so that no lumps form.

Season with salt and pepper to taste (you can add sour cream, a clove of garlic or fried onion to the sauce)

I advise you to season both the minced meat for the cutlets and the sauce, since simply adding salt will make the taste too bland.

Serve the cutlets with mushroom sauce hot.

Bon appetit!
