A good dish is these potato zrazy stuffed with meat. A complete lunch, where you have both meat and side dish, only combined into one form. It remains to cut a salad - and you can serve lunch at the table.
Potato zrazy with minced meat is not difficult and not long to prepare. For me personally, the most difficult moment in preparation is their sculpting, but even here, with a certain skill, you can cope with everything in 5 minutes. This dish is amazingly tasty, beautiful, convenient (you can take it with you for a snack). Children will definitely like potato zrazy :)
Many who have tried potato zrazy complain about sticky and naughty potato dough. This problem is solved with one trick, with the help of flour. Just before the formation of a potato pie, a lump of mashed potatoes (potato dough) is rolled in flour and no longer sticks to your hands, so that further actions for molding zraz become not only easy, but even fun.
Let me tell you and clearly show how to cook potato zrazy stuffed with minced meat and you will be convinced that there is nothing complicated in this recipe.
Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters, fill them with water and cook over medium heat. Do not add salt at this stage of cooking.
For the filling, we need about 350 g of minced meat, mine is pork, but you can use any meat for the filling - beef, chicken, turkey or mixed mince. In general, any meat found in the freezer is perfect as a filling for potato rusks.
But for the filling we also need carrots and onions.
Peel a small carrot or half a large (my option) and cut into small cubes. In general, you can use a grater or grind with a blender. Chop the onion finely.
Add a little sunflower oil to a preheated pan and fry the carrots and onions first until fully cooked (about 3 minutes over medium heat with frequent stirring), and then add the minced meat and continue to fry the meat filling for zaz until the meat is fully cooked. Minced meat during frying should be broken with a spatula into smaller components. First, it will turn pale and let in a small amount of juice, then the meat juice will evaporate and the grains of minced meat will lightly brown. This will mean that the filling for the zraz is ready.
Salt and pepper the meat filling to taste.
We wait until the potatoes are fully prepared and drain off all the remaining liquid.
Crush mashed potatoes. We are waiting for it to cool down a little and then add three tablespoons of flour and an egg, and salt the potato dough to taste.
We continue to stomp the potato dough (mashed potatoes) until smooth.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of flour into one deep plate, and the same amount of bread crumbs into the other.
Using a tablespoon, scoop up the potato dough (a heaped spoon) and put the dough into a bowl of flour. Then we turn it over. Now it will be convenient to fill the dough with minced meat and it will not stick to your hands. At the same time, hands must be dry.
Flatten the potato dough into a flat cake, where there will be a depression for minced meat in the center. We put a tablespoon of the filling (without a slide) and fasten the edges of the pie. Zrazy are very pliable and soft. We will give them the final shape after rolling in breadcrumbs.
Roll each zrazu in breadcrumbs, then with palms give it the final oblong flattened shape. We spread the zrazy on the board.
Preheat the pan and add sunflower oil (about 20 ml, but add a little more oil once cooking).
Fry potato zrazy with meat filling over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Fry several times at once, as a result, you will get about 3 frying passes.
Potatoes and meat are a hearty, nutritious and affordable food combination. You can cook a huge mass of dishes from these ingredients and it will always be an excellent solution to feed the whole family. One of the options for a delicious combination of these products is potato zrazy with minced meat in a pan. In their content and appearance, they resemble a cross between cutlets and pies with filling. And they combine in themselves both a side dish and the main dish.
Today I would like to offer our family recipe for delicious potato-semolina zraz stuffed with minced meat (pork with beef in equal proportions) and boiled eggs. Instead of minced meat, you can use chicken, fish, vegetable or offal. You can also add mushrooms to the minced meat. If you make zrazy from pre-cooked mashed potatoes and boiled meat (which should then be scrolled in a meat grinder), then the whole cooking process: modeling and frying will take you a minimum amount of time. Zrazy can be fried both in a pan and in a slow cooker, and they can also be baked in the oven.
Mashed potato zrazy with minced meat can be served with a salad of fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and onions or cabbage salad.
1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into small cubes. Fill with water, put on fire and boil until cooked for 20-25 minutes. Then knead in mashed potatoes and cool slightly. Potatoes can also be boiled in their "uniform".
2. Finely chop the onion for the filling. Fry it in a well-heated skillet in vegetable oil, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes. The onion should become transparent or acquire a golden hue, as you like.
3. Put the minced meat on the onion. You need to fry it for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked, salt and pepper. So that the minced meat is crumbly and there are no lumps in it, we cook it constantly stirring.
4. Boil the eggs in advance. Chop them and add to onions and minced meat. Mix and the filling is ready. To add piquancy to the filling, you can add coarsely grated pickled cucumber to it.
5. In mashed potatoes add semolina, butter (preferably softened, at room temperature), an egg (if yours is not large, you will need to add 2 small ones) and seasonings (salt, pepper). If desired, grated cheese can be added to the potato dough.
6. Knead the potato mass well and divide it into 8-10 parts. Roll each part into circles with a diameter of 10-12 cm and a thickness of about 1 cm. Put 1 tablespoon in the center of each circle. fillings. We form zrazy by lifting and sticking together the edges of the potato cake so that the filling remains inside. We give the shape of the cutlets.
7. Fry the prepared cutlets in vegetable oil (you must first heat the pan well) on both sides until golden brown. Before frying, they can be rolled in breadcrumbs so that they turn over better and do not fall apart.
