Steam cutlets are one of the fastest, tastiest and healthiest meat dishes... They are suitable for both baby food and for an adult table. You can not add spices to children's cutlets, but a grated or twisted carrot with minced meat will be just right. It will give the dish a pretty shade, more attractive to little fussy, than the pale color of natural meat.

We will not talk for a long time about the benefits of cutlets prepared in this way - this is understandable. After all, they are prepared without the use of fat, which means that they are lower in calories than fried ones, and are more gentle for the digestive system.

You can cook steam cutlets in a double boiler, and in a multicooker, and even with improvised means - using a saucepan and a colander. Today on the Kastryulkina.ru website we will describe all three of these methods.

As for minced meat, you can use any - the classic recipe involves a mixture of beef and minced pork, but chicken or turkey is considered more dietary.

Ingredients for steamed cutlets:

• 500 gr pork (chicken, beef) minced meat
• 1 medium onion
• 1-2 slices of bread (preferably a loaf)
• 1 egg(or 5 quail)
• 100 ml milk (can be replaced with water)
• basil, curry
• greens - parsley, green onions, Dill.

How to cook:

Soak the loaf in milk.

Then mix all the ingredients. You can add a tablespoon of rustic sour cream for taste.

Add spices to the minced meat for cutlets after it has been mixed. After spices, do not forget to salt the meat mixture (you should always salt at the very end).

Knead the minced meat with your hands and form the patties. To make the cutlets easier to shape and the meat does not stick to your palms, you should wet your hands cold water... Well, further variations are possible, depending on which kitchen device you will be cooking steam cutlets in.

If you are going to cook them in a double boiler:

Everything is simple here. Load the cutlets and steam for about 20 minutes.

Helpful Hint: Before tackling food, you should turn on the steamer. And when the cutlets are formed, they can be immediately put on ready-made steam.

How to make steam cutlets in a slow cooker:

We make minced meat and cutlets themselves as described above. After the cutlet balls or ovals are formed, we install a special steaming stand in the multicooker and pour water on the bottom of the bowl - its level should not reach the stand by 2 cm. Then we put our machine on the "steam" mode for 25 minutes. After that, the cutlets are ready, you can treat yourself to it.

If you want to cook steam cutlets without a steamer and multicooker (in a saucepan):

This is not difficult to do; for this you need a metal drushlag and a deep saucepan with a lid.

Pour enough water into the pot so that the level does not reach the bottom of the colander. Place a makeshift steamer over medium heat and wait for the water in the pot to boil.

Place the formed cutlets in a colander, place in a saucepan, cover and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Note that the water in the pot must be boiling continuously, and the lid must cover the pot rather tightly so that steam is supplied to the patties.

By the way, a side dish in an impromptu steamer can be cooked along with cutlets - cut potatoes into small circles (2-3 tubers), put them on the bottom of the druslag before heating the water in a saucepan. Cover and wait for the water to boil. After that, cook the potatoes for another 5 minutes, and then lay out raw cutlets on top of the potato slices. Cover everything again with the saucepan lid and simmer for another 20 minutes.

All healthy and juicy steamed cutlets are ready. Before serving, you can pour sour cream or mayonnaise on them. Bon Appetit!

• 1-2 onions;
• 1 carrot (optional);
• 1 egg;
• 0.5 multi cups semolina;
• Garlic - 1-2 cloves;
• Salt and spices to taste.

Cooking in steps:

Minced meat can be bought at any supermarket, but I always cook it myself.
Wash pork and bacon under running water and cut into small pieces. Peel the onion and garlic and cut into four parts, carrots - into slices or large strips.

I always put carrots in minced meat, but if you don't like this vegetable, you can exclude it.

Every housewife knows her own meat grinder or food processor, so we cut vegetables and meat so that they do not get stuck. We pass everything through a meat grinder.

Salt and pepper the finished minced meat, add a little spices and an egg.
Mix it all well.

It so happens that the minced meat turns out to be too juicy and there is a risk that the cutlets may fall apart during cooking.
In this case, I add 0.5 multi cups of semolina. For these purposes, you can also use bread crumbs.

We form cutlets from minced meat.
Pour 3 multi-cups of water at the bottom of the multicooker pan.
Place the steaming basket and lay out the patties. They can be pre-lubricated vegetable oil.
We turn on the multicooker, select the "Steam cooking" program for 40 minutes.

Before I had time to get the cooked from the multicooker, my youngest child began to ask for a cutlet!
That's what homemade and delicious food means!
