Mushroom cutlets
This year, the forests are exceptionally rich in mushrooms thanks to the rainy summer. Freshly picked wild mushrooms can be used to create a variety of dishes. One of them is mushroom cutlets, which I have made almost every autumn. I have never used mushrooms alone to make cutlets; I have also added about one-third of high-quality minced meat.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Level: Easy
Quantity: For four
Ingredients:
300 g mixed pork-beef minced meat
About 600 g chopped wild mushrooms
One medium onion, finely chopped
One clove of garlic, finely chopped
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
3 slices of white bread soaked in half a glass of milk, crumbled.
1 egg
50 g sour cream
Cooking oil for frying
Mashed potatoes:
10 medium potatoes
50 g butter
About 300 ml or more of hot milk
Sea salt for seasoning
Sauce:
One small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp flour
250 ml milk
2 tbsp soy sauce
Sea salt and black pepper for seasoning
Chopped parsley for garnish
Preparation:
- For the mashed potatoes, peel the potatoes and boil them with sea salt until soft. When the potatoes are soft, drain the water, evaporate the remaining liquid on a hot stove, add butter, and warm milk. Mash the mashed potatoes with a masher until smooth. Add milk until the mash is suitably liquid.
- While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the cutlet dough. Soak the bread in milk. Pour enough milk on the bread so that you don’t have to throw the milk away, and so that everything is absorbed into the bread and can be added to the cutlet mixture.
- Mix the soaked and crushed white bread, minced meat, chopped mushrooms, finely chopped onion, finely chopped garlic, egg, sour cream, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix everything until smooth
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, form a ball of cutlet dough about 5 cm in diameter, press it lightly to flatten it, place it in the pan, and fry until golden brown on both sides. Use medium heat to cook the cutlets through.
- When the cutlets are ready, make the sauce. To do this, brown the onions in a pan for about a minute, add the flour, and brown for about 30 seconds more, stirring in the flour. Add the milk and soy sauce and let the sauce boil until it thickens slightly. Season with black pepper and sea salt.
Serve the mushroom cutlets with mashed potatoes and sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
