Common beetroot is a root vegetable that is unique in its healing properties. Even Hippocrates included it in the composition of medicines. Betaine, which is found in beets and gives them a rich color, helps to reduce homocestine. The increased level of which causes cardiovascular disease. Beetroot dishes must be included in their diet for people with low hemoglobin. All useful properties are preserved in beets and during heat treatment.
It is necessary
-
- For "Pleasure" beet cutlets:
- 500 g of beets;
- 2 tablespoons of semolina;
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs or flour
- 1 egg;
- vegetable oil;
- melted butter;
- half a glass of sour cream;
- salt to taste.
- For beetroot cutlets with Sweet Tooth curd:

- 3 tablespoons of semolina;
- egg;
- 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream;

- sugar to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Beet cutlets "Pleasure". Wash the beets well and boil with the skin until tender. Then cool and clean. It is better to boil the beets in the evening, then it will take very little time to cook the cutlets.
Step 2
Grate the peeled boiled beets with a fine grid or pass through a meat grinder. Put the resulting mass in a saucepan, add a little vegetable oil and heat well over low heat, stirring continuously.
Step 3
When the beets are hot, add the semolina. To prevent it from becoming lumps, you should add semolina carefully, in a thin stream. Then boil the resulting beet-semolina mass for another fifteen minutes, remove the pan from heat and refrigerate.
Step 4
Drive an egg into the beetroot with semolina, salt and stir. Cut the resulting minced beetroot into small cutlets, roll them in ground breadcrumbs or flour, or in a mixture of bread crumbs and flour.
Step 5
Pour vegetable oil into the pan, heat well and fry the cutlets until an appetizing crust forms. Melt the butter and pour over the finished beet cutlets. Serve sour cream separately.
Step 6
Beetroot cutlets with cottage cheese "Sweet Tooth". Wash the beets with a brush. You do not need to clean and cut off the ponytails. Then cook the prepared beets or bake them in the oven. You can use a microwave for this, which will greatly speed up the cooking process.
Step 7
Peel and grate boiled or baked beets. Squeeze the beet juice well to make it as dry as possible. Add softened butter (1-2 tablespoons), sour cream, egg, semolina and sugar to the mashed beets. Knead the resulting minced meat well and leave to swell for fifteen minutes. The consistency of the mass depends on how well you squeezed the beets. If the "dough" is thin, add a little more semolina or flour.
Step 8
Form the patties by spooning them into the flour or breadcrumbs. Roll well on all sides and place in a skillet with heated oil. Fry until golden brown. Before serving, beet-curd cutlets should be poured with sour cream.
