Cooking process

Diet cutlets are a healthy and necessary dish not only in clinical nutrition, but also when it is worth unloading well after the holidays. The recipe for steaming cutlets without a double boiler is a big lifesaver for housewives. Not everyone has a pressure cooker, double boiler or slow cooker, but almost every home has a sieve or colander.

I propose to cook in a colander the most tender chicken cutlets. Our family really liked the option of cooking steam cutlets without a double boiler - for its simplicity and accessibility. Washing the colander was faster than fiddling with “normal” steam cooking appliances.

The composition of cutlets is the simplest. We need chicken breast without skin, two slices bran bread or a loaf onion with garlic, as well as salt, butter and a little seasoning for cutlets - to taste. Flour is taken at will.

First you need to prepare the main products for twisting in a meat grinder. Chicken, onion and loaf are cut into pieces.

Prepared ingredients are passed through a meat grinder.

The resulting minced meat is salted and seasoned with cutlet spices. Let's take a little spice.

Let's break the chicken egg into minced meat.

After that, the minced meat is very thoroughly mixed into a homogeneous cutlet mass. The better you mix the minced chicken, the more tender the steam cutlets will turn out.

Round meatballs are formed from homogeneous minced meat. So that the viscous minced chicken does not stick to the hands, they are moistened with water. The bottom of the colander is pre-lubricated with butter, and then it is necessary to place cutlet blanks in it. Too “liquid” cutlets, if desired, crumble in flour. The colander is placed on a pot of boiling water and covered with a lid. Actually, this is how our steamed cutlets will be prepared without a double boiler.

Control the active process of boiling water in the pan and after 45-60 minutes the steam cutlets will be cooked. Try it! If the taste of the cutlets suits you completely, carefully remove the cutlets to a plate. Garnish with greens and serve for lunch as a healthy second.

The double boiler is not so important, when “need for invention is cunning”, as it turned out.

Lifestyle Food

Lovers of delicious food are usually not indifferent to delicious crust formed during frying and baking products. But among them there are also those to whom such a golden appetizing formation seems superfluous.

And this does not mean at all that opponents of crispy crusts suffer gastrointestinal diseases, adhere to diets or are afraid of formidable cholesterol. Perhaps they- true gourmets, subtly feeling the natural flavors of food created in an ascetic way - steamed.

Without crust

Vegetables and products from minced meat, cooked on evaporating water, are juicy, tender and literally melt in your mouth. The action of steam slowly and gradually permeates their structure, helping the dish to cook evenly.

A wonderful dish - steam cutlets. Their smell, taste and color are subtle and unobtrusive. They contain vitamins and necessary for the body trace elements contained in natural product. Moreover, with their high nutritional value, they are low in calories.

Get by without a steamer

There are obviously not so few lovers of cooking for a couple. Otherwise, equipment called "steamer" would not have become so popular. This unit is a very useful device, but you will not find it in every kitchen.

In the absence of a double boiler, a worthy alternative to it will be an ordinary pan, a colander (preferably with a flat bottom) and a plate or lid that is suitable in size to cover it.

Instead of a colander, you can also use a special grate for cooking steam food.

Some Features

Before you cook steam cutlets without a double boiler, form the cutlet mass. She is being created in the usual way, but should be denser than stick together for frying. The liquid mixture will spread for a couple, the dish will turn out to be unattractive. For density, add breadcrumbs or soaked bun to minced meat.

When laying the cutlets on the bottom of a colander or wire rack, leave a little space between them so that they do not stick together.

You do not need to turn them over - they will not burn.
