Minced meat? If you just list the names of dishes, then probably not even a page will be enough. Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs, cutlets, lula kebab... You can also stuff dumplings, dumplings, cabbage rolls, bell peppers and tomatoes, Italian cannelloni and shells with it. With minced meat it is good to make casseroles, rolls, zrazy, navy pasta, pies, belyashi, pasties, lasagna. Here we present only a small part of the recipes for dishes made from ground beef. We will also tell you how to make tasty and tender minced meat with your own hands.
You should choose meat from a young animal. Veal is pink rather than red in color and has a more tender texture. Any boneless meat is suitable for minced meat: flank, shoulder, rump, shank flesh and even trimmings. The main thing is that along with the pulp there is a small layer of fat. It will make the ground beef dish more fluffy (although less dietary). Whatever pulp you choose, you need to mince it twice.
Next, minced meat is advised to deal with the main ingredient differently. Many people have no idea how to fry cutlets without adding eggs. They say, what, in this case, will hold the minced meat together and form the products? But eggs make the mixture tough. Try replacing them with cold water, and also add white bread crumbs soaked in milk. Finely chopped onions, potatoes, and flour are often added to the minced meat. But we will present here recipes for the most original dishes made from veal minced through a meat grinder. For example, traditional cutlets can be baked in this original way: wrap the minced meat in a slice of bacon. This, in turn, is wrapped in foil. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Nikitin style dumplings
This very simple ground beef dish is prepared like this. The onion and apple are finely chopped (or even grated). Mix with half a kilogram of minced meat. Two eggs, a crumb soaked in milk, two tablespoons of grated cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper are also added to the mixture. From this mass small balls are formed - dumplings. They are immersed in boiling, slightly salted water. After floating, the dumplings are cooked for another five minutes, after which they are caught with a slotted spoon. Pour half a glass of sour cream and a spoonful of starch into a small amount of broth. Stir in the sauce and bring to a boil. Pour it over the dumplings and sprinkle with herbs.
