Zrazy chopped - general principles of cooking
• In the preparation of cutlet mass use chicken fillet, pork pulp with a thin fat layer, trimming of beef from the neck or flank, fillet of low-stiff fish. Meat or fish fillets are thoroughly washed, then dried and, cut into large chunks, passed through a meat grinder that is configured for the most thorough grinding.
• Egg is added to any cutlet mass of any kind, seasoned with black pepper, must be lightly salted. In some cases, white bread crumb soaked in water or milk, and also minced through a meat grinder, interfere. After thorough mixing, the mass is fought off, lifting and sharply throwing it on the table or in the bowl. This gives the structure greater uniformity.
• A well-battered meat or fish mass is divided into parts and rolled out into balls. Then knead in cakes, up to a centimeter thick, spread the stuffing in the center. Holding the edges together, they give the semi-finished product an oval, somewhat elongated, shape. Breaded or dipped in batter, respectively, the method of preparation. • The most common minced zazra fillings are fried mushrooms, boiled egg, chopped cheese, onion feathers. Breadcrumbs and melted butter are also added. The savory taste of the dish can be given a filling of fried horseradish with bread.
