Steamed fish cutlets, dietary: 7 necessary recipes

Nutritionists recommend including fish dishes in your diet more often. After all, it contains proteins that the body needs and are simply digestible by the body, a lot of microelements and vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fish will be most beneficial if it is baked or stewed, but in a frying pan or in a slow cooker, fish can be cooked in such a way that it does not bring anything to the body, except for its usefulness.

If you are going to make cutlets from river fish, turn its flesh through a meat grinder a couple of times to be sure that there are no bones in the minced meat.
Usually, butter or lard is added to make minced fish juicy, but these additives significantly increase the calorie content of the finished dish. Therefore, dietary cutlets are made without these additives, but it is worth choosing fish varieties that are not the driest.
In order for the fish cutlets to be softer and more fluffy, dried bread is added to them and then soaked in milk, cream or water. For diet cutlets, water is more suitable, in the latter case - milk, but it is better to avoid cream.

Onions are often added to fish cutlets. You should not put it through a meat grinder so that the minced meat does not become watery. It’s better not to be lazy and chop the onion with a knife.
Usually, cutlets are steamed using a double boiler or multicooker. But even if you don't have similar kitchen appliances, you can create steamed fish cakes by placing them in a colander and setting it over a pan of water.
To make steamed cutlets, you don’t need any oil or breading. This also makes them dietary.

Recipe for “Fish cutlets in carrot batter”:

Wash the carrots, peel them, grate them on a large grater. If there is a lot of juice, then squeeze it out. Add garlic passed through a press.

Add salt, flour, 2 eggs, paprika, sesame seeds, herbs de Provençal spice mixture, and ginger.

Mix thoroughly - the batter is ready.

Let's move on to the minced meat. I had a homemade twisted assortment of river fish (my grandfather was a fisherman ).
But you can use any minced meat to your taste. I’m sure every housewife has her own secrets for making minced meat; I’ll tell you how I do it.
Mix grated onion (can be finely chopped), grated butter (I always take 10 grams of butter per 100 grams of minced meat), finely chopped lard, egg, salt, a mixture of peppers (I don’t add other spices to the minced meat itself). Oil and lard will make the minced meat softer and juicier.

We combine the minced meat with the consistency acquired above - it’s ready - you can move on to forming cutlets.

We form cutlets from the purchased minced meat and then cover them with carrot batter.
I usually make it according to the principle of dumplings. First, I spread the batter on my palm, then I place the cutlet in the middle and, moving it from hand to hand, I let the batter cover the cutlet. Make the cutlet size and shape according to your taste.

Fry in a frying pan preheated with vegetable oil. Fry on one side, covering the pan with a lid, on the other side - without a lid until golden brown. Remove and allow excess oil to drain.

You can serve it with or without a side dish.
Now I only added the freshest cucumbers. Bon appetit, dear Cooks! PS it took me longer to write the recipe than it took me to prepare.

I tried to describe it very carefully, but in fact there are only 3 steps: create the batter, form the cutlets and fry - this will take you no more than 30 minutes. This recipe is part of the “Cooking Together – Culinary Week” campaign. Discussion of production on the forum - http://forum.povarenok.ru/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6817
