Bean cutlets

Bean cutlets

Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Ingredients
beans (preferably red)
onion
salt pepper
starch or egg
flour or bread crumbs

Cooking method

• The amount of ingredients is limited by your appetite.
• Soak the beans in cold water and then boil until tender, but so that they do not fall apart. It is in this case that the cutlets will keep their shape perfectly when frying or baking. I personally grind the cooled beans with a blender (but you can also use a meat grinder). I do not deliberately bring to a homogeneous puree, I like it more. Cut the onion into small cubes and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. It tastes better, but you can also put raw onions. Add salt, pepper and other spices as desired. If you are not fasting or vegetarian then add an egg. If, for some reason, the option with an egg is not suitable, then add a little starch. Knead the minced meat thoroughly and form patties with hands dipped in cold water. Dip them in flour or bread crumbs and fry. Since all the ingredients are already ready-made, we do not fry for long, just so that a crust forms.
• The cutlets are delicious both hot and cold. Husband and son eat, and this is an indicator for me. Without meat it is risky to call my husband to the table.

Note

For the first time I cooked such cutlets in 2012 on the anniversary of my mother-in-law's death, and she fell on Holy Week. Since everyone was warned about the lean table, they were lost for a long time in conjectures of what the cutlets were.
I must say that then I was tormented with them: they fell apart, absorbed a lot of oil, I did not like the taste. Now this is the only way I do them. Fast, easy, satisfying, healthy. After all, the protein of legumes is quite complete.
The cutlets turn out to be somewhat dry, so it is better to serve them with a juicy salad or sauce.
I cooked the beans more, I cooked some, and put some in the refrigerator and she calmly waits in the wings. And since this week I have passed under the sign of beans, she does not have long to lie in the refrigerator.

I've never even heard of bean cutlets! I will definitely try! Thanks for the recipe!

You can take rice instead of starch, but for me this is no longer so useful and more confusing (also smear a saucepan with rice.) And the taste changes.

Thank you. Sonny doesn't eat beans, doesn't like them. Maybe I'll lure him with such cutlets.

Cool cutlets should turn out. Thanks for the recipe, I'll try it out on the weekend.

Just about, I once made buckwheat cutlets during the post. I boiled it, twisted it in a meat grinder, added carrots and then fried it in a pan. They have absorbed a lot of oils. Even bitter ones have become. So don't really go overboard with roasting.

Cutlets look like meat. I will definitely cook it. And you can also make such lentils, probably?

I haven’t tried lentils, but why not?

Since there were no beans, I made lentil cutlets. They didn’t want to sculpt, so they rubbed one boiled potato. The cutlets turned out to be very tasty. As soon as I buy beans, I'll make them out of them. Tanya, thanks for the recipe.

The potato can also act as a binding element. Today I warmed up a cutlet in the microwave and it seemed to me juicier than freshly made It is now necessary to make and verify this discovery purposefully.

I add boiled potatoes, fried onions, garlic cloves, eggs, salt, pepper, mushrooms (if any) to the beans, and everything through a meat grinder. Then I fry. Delicious.

Who would have doubted, with such and such additions. Naturally, it will not only be tasty, but very tasty. Go ahead and put the beans on the boil.

This is the composition !!!! Thank you!!! Is it possible without an egg?

Of course it is possible. An excellent lean option will turn out.

Of course, it is quite possible without an egg. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of starch.

Virgin !!!! I need to lead the children for a walk, but I would like to cook beans in a cartoon, but I'm afraid not to boil them. Please advise the time and temperature?

Giraffe, and tell me the amount of beans in this recipe? How many beans will one egg last?

Since you can cook without an egg, then determine empirically as you like. The main thing is that the cutlet mass does not become liquid, from a large number of eggs. You can estimate the proportions as you would with regular minced meat, adding an egg to it.

Giraffe, thanks for the recipe! Today I tried it with white beans. Made in bran breaded. Very tasty and satisfying! And as a side dish .... I will definitely make another dream!
Thank you

In the evening it became - I read the title of the topic "Sweets from beans" - I think: well, our craftsmen like sweets from beans make

[Pava tree]

Pava tree, well, they definitely make a cake

[prona]

prona, and what kind of color did you get? I just didn't make it out of white ...

Chicken type, light

Tanyusha, thank you
I liked the cutlets very much. Although they were not cutlets, I did it
Firstly, I am a lazy person. And she didn’t cook the beans, but took the white beans, canned in their own juice. No matter how I strained, the mass turned out to be a little thin. She also added an egg.
Secondly, I try to fry to a minimum. I bake everything I can. Immediately, the consistency turned out well, not molded at all. What should I do? - Poured into silicone muffins and baked in the oven. If you let it cool down a bit, they pop out perfectly. It turned out very similar to a soufflé with interspersed onions (blender beans until smooth).
Next time I'll do it with starch. And I'll try the supplements the girls recommended.
In general, I liked the recipe very much. Thank you!
