Instructions
Step 1
Try fluffy basil and cheese patties. Peel the beef pulp from films, rinse and dry. Scroll the meat through a meat grinder. Mix the resulting minced meat with an egg and a white roll soaked in milk, salt and pepper. Chop the onion and garlic and fry them in hot vegetable oil. Chop the basil greens into small pieces. Place the onion, garlic and basil in the minced meat and knead it thoroughly with your hands until smooth.
Step 2
Chop the mozzarella into small cubes. Form the minced meat into oval and slightly flattened cakes with wet hands. Press a few cheese cubes into each. Roll the finished products in flour. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the patties until golden brown. Serve over lettuce and garnish with tomato wedges. French fries are good as a side dish.
Step 3
Chopped cutlets will turn out to be very tasty and juicy. A piece of beef fillet is suitable for them. Clean it from films and grease, wash and dry. Chop the meat finely using a heavy and very sharp knife. Experienced chefs can operate with two cleavers at once - this will greatly speed up the process. For greater juiciness, add kidney beef fat to the mass, it also needs to be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly.
Step 4
Add some white bread soaked in milk to a bowl of chopped beef. Chop the basil and stir in the cutlet mass. Add onions finely chopped and fried in butter, as well as salt and pepper. Form patties with wet hands. Beat the egg yolk lightly, brush the finished products with it and roll them in breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Heat ghee in a skillet. Arrange the cutlets and fry until golden brown over medium heat. The food must be completely fried To check this, press on them with a wooden spatula - the flowing meat juice should be completely transparent. Serve the chopped cutlets on portioned plates, garnish with basil leaves and add mashed potatoes.
