Rabbit balls. How to cook minced rabbit cutlets. Stuffed with zucchini

Rabbit meat is dietary and tender, perfectly absorbed by the body. Therefore, I propose to prepare juicy, delicious rabbit cutlets. Since I haven’t seen minced rabbit on sale, I prepare it myself from a rabbit carcass. Despite the fact that lard, cream, milk and bread are not added to the minced meat in this recipe, minced rabbit cutlets They turn out juicy and very tasty. I recommend you try it too!

Ingredients

To prepare minced rabbit cutlets you will need:
rabbit - 2 kg (or minced rabbit - 1.1-1.2 kg);
onions - 2 pcs.;
garlic - 1 clove;
egg - 1 pc.;
salt, freshly ground black pepper - to taste;
breadcrumbs for breading;

Cooking steps

Remove meat and fat (if any) from bones. Bones can be used to make excellent soup.

Pass the pieces of pulp through a meat grinder twice, this will make your cutlets even more tender. From rabbits weighing 2 kilograms I got 1.1 kilograms of good homemade minced meat.



Heat the vegetable oil well in a frying pan, add the cutlets and fry over medium heat until golden brown on one side (about 5-7 minutes).

Then turn the cutlets over to the other side and fry until golden brown.

Technology for preparing rabbit cutlets

The rabbit fillet must be passed through a meat grinder along with lard and white bread soaked in milk, preferably twice. Then you need to beat the resulting minced meat well and add two tablespoons of milk and salt to taste.

The onion must be finely chopped and sautéed in vegetable oil until a nice brown crust forms. Then add it to the minced meat, mix well and form even small cutlets, no more than two centimeters thick.

The next stage is breading. Formed, identical small cutlets are dipped in lightly beaten eggs, rolled in, then again in eggs, and then in breadcrumbs.

Now you can fry the cutlets. A small amount of vegetable oil is poured into a large frying pan; once it is well heated, you can place the rabbit cutlets in it and fry on both sides until golden brown. After frying, the cutlets are placed in the oven for about fifteen minutes and brought to full readiness. Many people prefer to stew the cutlets by filling the pan in which they were cooked with a small amount of water. It is recommended to close the pan with a lid.

Rabbit cutlets are usually served with a side dish of potatoes.

Rabbit cutlets recipe quick and easy

Before you make rabbit cutlets, you need to prepare the minced meat. I usually remove the meat from the front of the carcass or buy rabbit legs. You can make cutlets from minced rabbit bought at the market, but I prefer to make minced meat myself, as it’s somehow more confident.

Peel the onion, wash it, cut it into pieces suitable for chopping in a meat grinder.

Pour semolina or pieces of stale white bread with cold milk and leave to swell.

We pass the rabbit meat through a meat grinder along with onions. If you already have ready-made minced meat, then you can simply chop the onion finely or grind it in a blender.

We combine all the components of the minced meat. Add salt, pepper and, if desired, herbs. Since rabbit meat itself is quite aromatic, spices must be added carefully in very small quantities. Rabbit meat cutlets will be decorated with thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram or a mixture of Provençal or Italian herbs. When choosing marjoram or basil, be sure to add a clove of garlic passed through a press to the minced meat.

Knead and beat the minced meat. You can add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to make the rabbit cutlets more juicy, because the rabbit meat itself is somewhat dry.

We make small cutlets and roll them in flour.

In a frying pan, heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or melted butter) and fry the rabbit meat cutlets over medium heat, first on one side, until they are browned.

Spicy rabbit cutlets.

DIETARY AND TENDER

Cutlets for true lovers of healthy food!

For true lovers of natural delicacies, adherents of healthy food and dietary products, I offer an excellent recipe for rabbit meat cutlets.

The first thing to do with a rabbit carcass is to separate the meat from the bones. It is most convenient to carry out this procedure with a small sharp knife. The bones should not be cut to avoid the appearance of sharp fragments. We remove the meat, first from the back of the carcass, where there is more of it, then move to the back and finally to the legs. Since the last operation is the most labor-intensive and does not lead to a significant increase in the total mass of minced meat, you can skip it and leave the legs for other dishes (roast, jellied meat).

We marinate the meat as for barbecue and leave it to condition for 2-4 hours. The composition of the marinade can be varied to suit your taste. Here is one option: 1 part vinegar, 2 parts olive oil, 4 parts onions. Salt, pepper, bay leaf - to taste.

Grind the resulting meat in a meat grinder. We perform similar actions with chilled butter. If the rabbit is fatty, you can do without it by twisting the meat along with layers of fat. However, a little butter, about 50 grams per medium carcass, will give the dish another flavor note in the overall flavor palette. Fry finely chopped onions in a frying pan until golden brown and also grind in a meat grinder. At the end, add some white bread or loaf soaked in milk, preferably without a crust. Mix everything, pepper, salt to taste and pass through the meat grinder again. The result will be an almost ideal homogeneous mass.

If you like denser cutlets, then it is recommended to beat the resulting minced meat a little on a flat surface. If, on the contrary, you want to get fluffy cutlets, use a blender and beat the minced meat by turning on the device for a few seconds.

Cutlets formed from minced meat, rolled in flour and brushed with raw egg, fry in a heated frying pan. During frying, we achieve the appearance of a golden brown crust on both sides. We bring our dish to complete readiness using the oven. To avoid mistakes, you need to warm it up to about 180° and set the timer for 10 minutes. The cutlets will turn out even tastier if you sprinkle them with grated hard cheese on top before placing them in the oven. We put the final point with ketchup for barbecue.
