Cooking tips:
A recipe for Lithuanian cuisine characterized by a minimal use of spices and a wide variety of meat and vegetable dishes. There is not just a lot of onion in meat zrazy - there is a lot of it. But the taste only benefits from this. The addition of onions to the minced meat gives the zraz a spice, fried onions with mushrooms are a delicious juicy filling, and the onions added to the sour cream sauce make it thick and rich in taste.
To prepare meat zraz with mushrooms according to this step-by-step photo recipe, it is best to take a mixed minced meat from two types of meat or mix pork with chicken. Of course, forest mushrooms are needed in the filling, but in the absence of such, ordinary champignons will do. Mushrooms and onions must be overcooked so that the filling has a characteristic mushroom taste. And it is advisable to season with at least a little black pepper - but this is at your discretion. Breading for zraz is made from flour, rusks are not used in this recipe - they will become soaked during subsequent stewing in sauce. If breading is not to your taste, simply fry the zrazy in oil and cook in sour cream sauce.
Ingredients:
- lean meat (pork or half with chicken) - 400 gr;
- onions - 3-4 pcs.;
- egg - 1 pc .;
- salt - an incomplete teaspoon;
- black pepper - a third of a teaspoon;
- basil - 2-3 pinches;
- fresh champignons - 3-4 pcs (large);
- vegetable oil - 4-5 tbsp. spoons;
- flour - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- sour cream - 150-200 ml;
- water - 0.5 cups.
How to cook from a photo step by step
We clean the meat from films, cut off the fat. Cut into small pieces, grind in a meat grinder or using a blender with an "upper knife" attachment, a food processor. Grind half of the onion together with the meat. Add spices to the minced meat with onions - basil and black pepper.
We drive in one egg, add half a teaspoon of salt - this will be enough. If the zrazy does not seem salty enough, you can make the sauce slightly salty. We mix all the components, beat off the minced meat to become elastic, homogeneous. Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.
We form rounded blanks for zraz. Place it on a flat plate or cutting board and send it back to the refrigerator.
For the filling, cut half the onion into small cubes, cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
Pour one or two tablespoons of oil into the pan, heat it up. Pour the onion, fry until soft, if desired, you can lightly brown it. Add the mushrooms, increase the heat and evaporate all the mushroom juice. Salt and pepper if desired.
Pour a spoonful of flour into a plate. We spread one blank for zraz, flatten it into a cake. Put the filling in the middle. Raise the edges by wrapping them over the filling. We roll it into a bun, roll it in flour.
We spread the zrazy in a frying pan with boiling oil. Fry over medium heat for two or three minutes, until a golden brown crust appears on the bottom.
Pry it with a spatula, turn it over. Fry the second side for two minutes too, no longer. The zrazy will reach full readiness when they are stewed in sour cream sauce.
We transfer the zrazy to a cauldron or saucepan. Add oil to the pan. Chop the remaining onion into large strips or half rings. Fry in oil until soft.
Pour the fried onions to the meat zrazami, placing them in one or two layers. We take a saucepan with a thick bottom so that the sauce does not burn when stewing.
Pour half a glass of water into a saucepan, salt to taste. Cover and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Pour in sour cream, warm it up, but do not bring it to a boil. Turn it off, leave the zrazy for 5-10 minutes.
You can serve zrazy with or without any side dish, adding
The very concept of "zrazy" means cut pieces, ie. a large piece of meat is first cut into plates, which are then beaten off thinly, stuffed, fried and certainly also stewed (baking is also allowed).
So we get an original (for all its simplicity), aromatic dish, which is convenient to prepare in advance - the quality of the dish will not suffer from reheating (if anything).
Traditionally, Lithuanian zrazy are made from beef, but ... How many people - so many opinions and different tastes - in my family, for example, love pork more. Therefore, the choice of meat is always yours, in fact, with both, it turns out very tasty.
Well, and, really, for adherents of dietary food, zrazy according to this recipe can easily be prepared from poultry meat - chicken or turkey - the cooking principle is the same.
It is better to choose fresh meat, which has not been frozen, since it will turn out to be juicy. Well, in the event that it was still frozen, it will be necessary to completely defrost it before cooking.
Cut a large piece of meat into thin plates (zrazy). A very important point - you should only cut the meat across the fibers. If we neglect this rule and cut it lengthwise, then during heat treatment the meat seems to shrink, as a result it can turn out tough, difficult to chew (I would say) ... In general, "like a sole" - we don't need that ?!
Beat well with a special hammer on both sides, i.e. break the meat fibers - so the meat in the end turns out to be more tender and soft, moreover, a large enough area for wrapping the filling. It is better to beat off between layers of cling film - on top (to avoid splashing) and below (so as not to stick to the board).
Note: this is especially important if beef is used for cooking.
Season with salt and pepper, leave to soak in spices while the filling is being prepared.
Now let's prepare the mushroom and onion filling:
- Peel and cut the onion into small cubes.
- champignons, if required, clean from dirt with a soft dry cloth; and then cut into small pieces.
Preheat a frying pan with 2-3 tbsp. tablespoons of sunflower oil.
Reduce heat to medium, fry the onion until golden and soft, stirring occasionally.
Once the onion is cooked, add the chopped mushrooms and chopped garlic to it. Season to taste with salt, pepper and dry marjoram.
Fry everything together for about 10 minutes - during this time the mushrooms will decrease in size, they will let the juice out; and when it completely evaporates, the filling is ready. Let's put it aside - let it cool down a little, so that it is more convenient to work with it further, i.e. do not get burned.
Note: instead of fresh mushrooms, you can take soaked mushrooms - it will undoubtedly be tastier and more aromatic. Somewhere 50-60 grams will be enough. In this case, mushrooms must first be soaked in warm water for 3 hours.
Then roll in flour on all sides.
Fry on all sides in heated vegetable oil over medium heat. I advise you to start frying from the side where the seam is located - so the meat will firmly "fix" and the roll will not tend to turn around.
Then the toothpicks can be removed.
Fold the fried rolls into a baking dish.
Now about the sauce. After frying the meat, there is a little oil left in the pan with flour residues - this is an excellent basis for it.
Let's add a little water (or mushroom broth if dry mushrooms have been soaked) to the pan, the rest of the mushroom filling (well, this is if it remains), cream and marjoram to taste. Now let's try it with salt and, if required, add salt.
Bring to a boil, stirring well - the remaining flour and cream will thicken the sauce a little. And then pour this sauce over zrazy.
Put in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve hot as a main course, with or without a side dish of your choice.
In principle, this dish in itself is already meat with a side dish, but with vegetables, fresh or steamed, it will definitely be tastier. Bon Appetit!
That's all the "difficulties" of cooking, and as a result - such a traditional combination of meat with mushrooms will definitely please and, I hope, you will use this recipe again and again.
