There are different ways to give familiar dishes a new twist. So, the traditional version of preparing cutlets can be changed and fry them in batter. Of course, it is more common to cook other foods in this way, for example, fish, meat chops or some vegetables. But don’t worry - the batter will give the cutlets a delicate taste and an appetizing golden crust.

Minced meat, chicken, fish or vegetables are suitable for cutlets. The cutlet recipe can be taken from a cookbook or prepared according to your favorite recipe. The main thing is to pay attention to the consistency of the finished minced meat; it should not turn out to be too liquid. If this happens, you should add a few tablespoons of starch or flour.

Cutlets in batter

Yesterday my sister visited me and told me that she was preparing a very tasty dish called Brizoli . After listening to how she did it, I thought, why don’t I cook it too. Having scoured the Internet, I didn’t find any general recipe for Brizoli , I only realized that Brizoli is a culinary dish, or a faster method of cooking and means fried in an omelet, an egg, in general, in a lezone. In principle, for me it doesn’t make much difference what the dish is called, but I would still like to know for sure that this particular dish is called that, so I just called it “Cutlets in Batter . I can say one thing that I would never have thought that ordinary cutlets , but only in thick batter, would turn out so delicious. The batter did not allow fat and meat “juice” to leak out, so the cutlets turned out very juicy and tender. I added hop-suneli seasoning to the minced meat, which added a special flavor to the dish. Overall, I am very pleased with the dish, it was devoured in one sitting. In addition, preparing it is not at all difficult; even a young housewife can easily cope with the preparation.

To prepare cutlets in batter we will need:

700 gr. minced meat (I use lean pork)
2 onions
3 cloves garlic
2 eggs
Salt, pepper to taste
Seasonings (I used khmeli-suneli)
Vegetable oil for frying

To prepare the batter we will need:

3 eggs
Milk
Flour
Salt

Since I had a piece of meat , we grind it in a meat grinder.

We also grind the onion and garlic, add eggs, salt, and spices.

Mix thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous minced meat .

Now let's prepare the batter . Lightly beat the eggs, add milk (or water) and salt. Add enough flour to make the batter thick enough. Beat thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

We form small balls from the minced meat and place them on a board or plate.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan.

Dip each (I do this with a spoon), so that the cutlet is completely covered in batter. Place in vegetable oil and fry.

Fry the cutlet first on one side, then carefully turn it over with a spatula and fry on the other side until a golden brown crust forms.

Place the cutlets on a plate, decorate with herbs, slices of tomato, and cucumber. These battered cutlets are very tasty hot, and no less tasty cold!

BON APPETIT!

Batter for vegetable cutlets

Cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, onions, potatoes and zucchini are suitable for making vegetable cutlets. When choosing vegetables, give preference to less watery ones, this will make them easier to cook. For minced meat, they can be finely chopped, rather than processed through a meat grinder. The batter for vegetable cutlets also has several features. First of all, it should be thicker in consistency, so the amount of flour can be increased. Instead of milk, you can use kefir, full-fat sour cream with the addition of a few tablespoons of mineral water, so the batter will be airy. The water should be cooled in the freezer before adding. You can add cheese to give the cutlets a creamy taste.

Ingredients needed to prepare batter for vegetable cutlets:

chicken eggs – 2 pcs.;

mineral water – 1 tbsp;

kefir 3.2% – 70 ml;

garlic – 1-2 cloves;

flour – 80 grams;

salt - a pinch;

ground black pepper.

Beat the eggs with a blender until foam appears, add kefir and water. Then add flour and stir thoroughly until smooth. Now add salt, spices and chopped garlic. Next, cook according to the recipe. Batter is a unique product. By changing the composition of the ingredients, you can use it to prepare not only meat, fish, poultry or vegetable dishes, but also dessert ones. To do this, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream and sugar to the classic recipe.

Batter for meat cutlets

You can use classic batter for meat cutlets or prepare it according to a special recipe. To do this, it is recommended to add mayonnaise or sour cream to the mixture. This option is suitable if the cutlets are made only from ground beef. This will make them juicier. Some recipes suggest using alcoholic beverages, such as beer, red wine, brandy or cognac, instead of the usual liquid ingredients. This will make the cutlet crust crispy. To add a spicy aroma and taste, you can add a pinch of seasoning for frying meat.

To prepare you will need:

chicken egg – 90 g;

flour – 3 tbsp;

spices or seasoning for meat - ½ tsp;

Step-by-step recipe with photos

The cutlets in this version turn out surprisingly tender and juicy. In addition, this dish, like all others cooked in batter, is self-sufficient. In the sense that they do not require special side dishes in the form of porridge, pasta or potatoes because they already contain enough carbohydrates in the dough. The best addition to such cutlets will always be vegetables or pickles. The technology for preparing them is very simple and accessible to everyone, even a novice cook.

To prepare cutlets you will need: any minced meat, onions, garlic, white bread or loaf, sunflower oil, sour cream, egg, flour, salt and baking soda.

Preparing minced meat for cutlets. I took chicken breast fillet and ready-made ground beef from the store. Peel and wash the onion and garlic. Soak the white loaf in cold water, then squeeze it out. We pass chicken breast fillet, onion, garlic and loaf through a meat grinder.

Salt and pepper to taste if necessary. You can add any dry herbs or seasonings. Mix the minced meat thoroughly.

Making the dough (batter) for the cutlets. Break the egg into a bowl and shake it.

Add sour cream.

Then flour, a pinch of salt and soda.

Mix well so that there are no lumps. The consistency of the dough should be like thick pancakes.

Let's proceed directly to making cutlets in batter. We form a cutlet from the minced meat and lower it into the dough.

Roll the cutlet on both sides in dough and place in a hot frying pan with sunflower oil.

Fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown.

The fried cutlets turn out to be quite large, so additional heat treatment is necessary. You need to keep them in a hot oven or microwave for about 10 minutes. Or you can put them in a saucepan (deep frying pan), pour in a little water and cover with a lid. That is, arrange steam treatment.

From the specified amount of ingredients you get 10-11 cutlets.

Serve for lunch or dinner.

Step-by-step preparation

Tip: if you have time, it is better to make the batter in advance. It is advisable for it to stand in the refrigerator for about an hour when ready. This is due to the fact that gluten loses its elasticity, and the dough sticks to the product better in the process.

So, following the advice, let's start with the batter. Take two chicken eggs, preferably from the refrigerator. Beat the yolks separated from the whites. Salt, pepper, work all the time with a whisk or blender. Add 20 ml of vegetable oil, sift 80 g of flour. Mix the ingredients well so that the dough turns out without lumps. Pour in 20 g of vodka. It will give that unique crispy crust. Instead of alcohol with oil, it is possible to add ordinary carbonated mineral water, very cold, almost ice-cold. Then the batter will be airy and light, not so greasy.
While our leison sits in the refrigerator, let's prepare the filling. To do this, boil 2 eggs. Let them cool down. Chop greens and onions. Grate 100 g of hard cheese and 50 g of butter, squeeze out 4 cloves of garlic. At the end, add finely chopped eggs (they can also be grated). Mix all the ingredients and carefully form small balls with wet hands. Our filling is ready, put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Let's make minced meat. These can be pieces of any meat: chicken breasts, pork or lean beef. Delicious cutlets are always obtained by mixing several types. In total, we take 500 g of meat, cut it into small components, and grind it in a meat grinder. In the same way, chop the onion and the loaf soaked in water (milk). To give the dish a more pleasant taste and juiciness, add 1 beaten egg, 150 ml of sour cream, season with salt and pepper (your favorite spices).
Beat the resulting mass. To do this, lift it above the bowl and throw it back with force. We repeat such manipulations 15-20 times. This is necessary to obtain viscosity and uniformity, which will prevent the meat from falling apart when dipped in the leison.
Now you can remove pre-prepared foods from the refrigerator. We make flat cakes from the minced meat, 5 mm high. Try to make them as similar as possible. Place an egg and cheese ball on each meat pancake, wrap it and form cutlets.
Now let’s prepare a saucepan or frying pan with high sides, where we’ll put the sunflower oil to boil. Meanwhile, add the unused whites to the leison and beat everything well again. To avoid mistakes in calculations, use a 1:1 ratio of batter and ingredients. The consistency of the dough is checked by dipping a spoon into it, the surface of which should not be visible.
Before proceeding to the final stage, place the blanks on a board and sprinkle with flour. This is necessary so that the batter sets more easily and does not drip.
Let's move on to the final stage. Dip the meatballs and lower them into hot oil (the high temperature ensures that the dough holds its shape). Fry on all sides until an appetizing crust forms.
Be sure to place the finished cutlets on a paper napkin or towel to get rid of excess fat.

There are many secrets in preparing batter when wine, cognac, beer, fruit drinks and juices are used as ingredients. The main thing is that the drink is in harmony with the main product. In the case of our recipe, meat goes well with red wine and vodka.

Tip: you can dip vegetables, fish, and fruits (for example, bananas) into batter and fry them. But remember one condition - for dry products you need to prepare a liquid dough, for juicy ones (orange, broccoli) - thick. If you add ground nutmeg, potatoes, pumpkin or hard cheese, you can get an unexpectedly interesting aromatic taste.

Serve this hearty and original dish hot, garnished with sweet pepper rings and champignons. We complement the menu with mashed potatoes with tender squash caviar or spaghetti with tomato paste. You can enrich your holiday table with such yummy treats.
