By replacing classic ingredients like bread and eggs with pearl barley, you will create tender, golden, and incredibly aromatic cutlets.
Ingredients:
600 g of minced meat (any type).
150 g of pearl barley.
1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs (optional).
Vegetable oil (for frying).
Salt, spices, and chopped herbs (to taste).
Cooking Steps:
Boil the pearl barley until fully cooked, but not too sticky. Drain the water and let it cool.
Combine the cooked pearl barley with the minced meat. Add salt, spices, and chopped herbs to taste. Mix everything thoroughly.
If the mixture seems too runny, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs to thicken it.
Next, cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours. This helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to shape the cutlets.
Take the chilled mixture and form cutlets of your desired size.
Heat a skillet with vegetable oil. Fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown and cooked through.
