Fish cutlets
Description
This simple fish patty recipe allows using not just one, but several types of fish at once. Even regular sprats can be used—they work perfectly for this dish. 1. Wash fresh or frozen fish thoroughly and clean it—remove large bones, heads, innards, and scales. 2. Pass the cleaned fish through a meat grinder or blender. It's best to do this at least twice to eliminate small bones and leftover pieces. 3. Soak bread or breadcrumbs in water (or milk) for 5–7 minutes. 4. Peel the onion and pass it through the meat grinder. 5. Add the soaked bread and egg to the prepared fish mince. 6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 7. Shape the mixture into small patties. 8. Place breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. Add fresh herbs if desired. 9. Heat a skillet with a small amount of oil. 10. Roll the patties in breadcrumbs and place them on the skillet. Fry for the first few minutes covered with a lid. Then uncover and cook until golden and crispy on both sides. Serve homemade fish patties with your favorite side dish. They go especially well with mashed potatoes or rice, along with a fresh vegetable salad.
