How to cook lean cabbage cutlets
Ingredients:
White cabbage – 1 kg
Semolina - 1 tbsp. (200 ml) Salt - to taste Pepper mixture - to taste Vegetable oil - optional
Preparation:
1.
You’re not mistaken, yes, these cutlets contain only two ingredients – cabbage and semolina. This is a basic recipe, you can expand the ingredients as you wish. An excellent addition would be onions, carrots, and garlic. Cabbage cutlets will acquire a special taste if they contain mushrooms.
This recipe is from my childhood, from the very first culinary notebook, then still written by hand. True, initially the cutlets also included eggs. At first I was afraid that without eggs the cutlets would not hold their shape, but my fears were in vain. You can cook it without eggs!
For cutlets, it is better to take not young cabbage, but old cabbage, that is, cabbage from the previous harvest.
You need to chop the cabbage thoroughly. I used to do this on a grater, but with the advent of modern kitchen gadgets, it’s even a pity to waste so much time. So I used a food processor. Place cabbage cut into large pieces into a bowl and chop finely. The finer you chop the cabbage, the more juice it will release. For the same reason, I would not recommend chopping cabbage with a knife. In addition, cabbage cut with a knife does not hold the shape of the cutlets well, as if it separates their structure.
2.
Add semolina, salt, and a mixture of peppers to the chopped cabbage. Mix the mass thoroughly. And it’s better to let the minced cabbage brew. During this time, the cabbage will release its juice as much as possible, and the semolina will swell. The result is minced cutlet, which is very easy and convenient to work with.
3.
We form cutlets from the resulting minced meat. If desired, they can, of course, be breaded in breadcrumbs. But it seems to me that there is enough semolina in this minced meat to add crackers as well.
From this quantity of products I got 16 medium-sized cabbage cutlets. Heat vegetable oil in a hot frying pan and fry the cutlets. Don't forget that cabbage cooks very quickly, so be sure to turn the cutlets over. Literally a few minutes on each side is enough.
4.
Place the fried cabbage cutlets in a saucepan or roasting pan, coat with your favorite sauce and simmer a little. For example, I laid out a layer of cutlets, brushed them with homemade ketchup, and added a few sprigs of parsley for flavor. Then another layer of cutlets and more sauce. You can use overcooked onions and fried carrots with tomatoes as a sauce. You don’t need to simmer these cutlets for a long time; I think 10 minutes will be enough.
5.
Cabbage cutlets are juicy, tender, and tasty. And they go perfectly with any side dish: porridge, pasta, potatoes, vegetables or, like mine, fried champignons.
