Preparation
Step 1
How to make simple and quick pollock mince patties with vegetable sauté and breadcrumbs in a frying pan? First, prepare all needed ingredients and spices.
Step 2
For the vegetable sauté, heat a frying pan with about 2 tablespoons of oil. Add one onion sliced into quarter-rings and one medium carrot grated on a fine grater.
Step 3
Mix the vegetables and fry them over high heat.
Step 4
Place three pieces of white bread into a bowl, pour in 100 ml of room-temperature milk, and let the bread soak.
Step 5
Add one pressed garlic clove to the onion and carrot, mix, fry for one more minute, then turn off the heat and let the sauté cool.
Step 6
Run 1 kg pollock fillet, the vegetable sauté, and the milk-soaked bread through a meat grinder with a coarse plate. Transfer everything into a large bowl and salt to taste.
Step 7
Add 50 g semolina and a mix of ground black and red pepper.
Step 8
Mix thoroughly until the mince becomes smooth and even.
Step 9
Let the mince rest for 20 minutes, mixing it twice during this time.
Step 10
Take some mince and shape it into a small flat patty. Place a small piece of butter inside.
Step 11
Shape the mince around the butter and form a cutlet, tapping it in your hands so it keeps its shape during frying.
Step 12
Coat each cutlet in breadcrumbs mixed with wheat flour, then place them on a plate.
Step 13
Heat a frying pan with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Lay in the cutlets and fry on one side until golden over medium heat.
Step 14
Flip the cutlets, cover the pan with a lid, and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until fully done.
Step 15
Transfer the cooked fish patties to a plate and serve. Enjoy!
