Instructions
Step 1
Remove the fish fillets from the freezer and place on the table to defrost.
Step 2
Cut the bread into small pieces, put on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, put in the oven at a temperature of 110-130 ° C. When the rusks are ready, cool, transfer to a blender bowl and pulsate for schnitzels.
Step 3
Blot the pieces of fish with a napkin, salt and pepper, lightly pour with lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Wash the egg, break into a bowl and stir in the cream (no whipping). Dip a piece of fish and bread. Do the same with the others.
Step 5
Rinse the rice well in several waters and boil until tender, but do not boil it.
Step 6
Prepare a salad dressing.
Wash the cucumber and peel the green skin. Grate on the finest grater, add yogurt, lemon juice, mix. Wash and dry the herbs. Peel the garlic, crush with a knife and chop very finely together with the herbs. Add to dressing, salt, pepper, stir.
Step 7
Wash the radish, peel, cut into thin strips. Wash the carrots, peel and grate. Peel the apple, grate on a coarse grater. Mix everything. You can add the dressing immediately, pour the salad on it already in the plates or serve it separately (at your discretion).
Step 8
Heat the pan slightly, add vegetable oil, add butter, stir, increase heat. Place the schnitzels and fry on each side for 2-3 minutes, depending on the desired degree of doneness.
Step 9
Place the rice on bowls and shape into a ball (or whatever). Place the salad and schnitzel next to it. Since tuna tastes like boiled pork, you can use any ready-made gravy or sauce that is suitable for meat if desired. Additionally, you can serve pickled cucumber cut into circles, cherry tomatoes.
Bon Appetit!
