Step-by-step preparation

  1. We clean and wash the onions. Finely chop and place in a deep bowl.
  2. Salt, pepper, break the egg, mix.
  3. Add flour, form minced meat - it is necessary that all ingredients combine with each other. At the very end, pour in the finely chopped greens.
  4. Heat the frying pan at maximum mode, then reduce the flame to medium-high (if there is a numerical gradation, set the indicator to 7.5 out of 10).
  5. Lightly grease with vegetable oil, but if you have a frying pan with a good non-stick coating, you don’t have to use it.
  6. Place onion cutlets with a tablespoon.
  7. Fry on each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Carefully take it out and place it on a paper napkin to remove excess fat.

Advice:

if you like, simmer your homemade onion cutlets in a little chicken or meat broth with seasonings - this will give them extra flavor. There is no need to cook for a long time; wait after boiling for 3-5 minutes.

These onion cutlets are usually eaten hot, but if they sit until the next day, they are quite suitable as a snack or afternoon snack at work. Don't worry and do it calmly - there won't be any characteristic smell.

The prepared dish is more relevant in autumn and winter, when there are no fresh greens, but the body still needs vitamins. It can also be used in lenten or vegetarian menus.

This simple onion cutlet recipe isn't dogmatic and doesn't stifle creativity. Add garlic to the minced meat; instead of fresh herbs, take ready-made sets of dry herbs. Or add an additional ingredient of your choice - potatoes, carrots, celery root. All in your hands. Try it, cook with your imagination, you will definitely succeed. Bon appetit!

Who said that cutlets must be meat? They can be made from any vegetables. But onion cutlets have a particularly amazing taste. This dish is so simple and accessible that even a novice cook can handle it.

. Many cooks prefer to add wheat flour to the minced meat base. I cook with semolina. It turns out more fluffy and, it seems to me, more satisfying, although the calorie content of the dish is not so high.

I will share two recipes on how to quickly and easily prepare a wonderful snack from just a couple of onions, a handful of semolina and a spoon of vegetable oil. That's the whole basic composition of this unusual and little-known dish. So let's get started.

Recipe for onion cutlets

Peel the onion, wash under running water and finely chop. Then put it in a bowl, add pepper to taste (paprika is very suitable for onion cutlets) and mix thoroughly.

Break the egg into a bowl with the onion, stir so that the egg combines evenly with the mixture, and add the flour there. Stir again, now until smooth - you are preparing the onion mince for the cutlets.

Heat a frying pan over a fire, pour in vegetable oil and spoon in the onion cutlets. They will turn out to be of interesting shape.

Don't make them big, it's better to have them medium or small. Then just fry until golden on each side.

The cutlets are served both warm and cold, and it’s hard to say which is tastier. They can be eaten with fresh herbs, mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, tomato sauce and even bechamel sauce.

There are other ways to prepare onion cutlets. Below I will talk about one of them, with the addition of tomato paste and sugar. I often cook this way, so I decided to also offer this option with photos (below).

Please also note that the following recipe includes semolina. I highly recommend it because it makes it even tastier. You can even replace the flour with semolina - the onion cutlets will not lose anything, on the contrary, they will become more tender and softer.

Another important recommendation. Onion cutlets are easy to damage, “tear”, as they are quite “fragile”. There is a simple trick that will help you avoid this. Place potatoes, peeled and cut into flat pieces, on the bottom of the frying pan, cover them with water on top, and place onion cutlets on this “stand”. Then you can simmer them, making sure to cover the pan with a lid.

Recipe for onion and semolina cutlets in a frying pan

Bowls of different sizes, cutting board, knife, grater with large and fine mesh, garlic press, spatula, measuring cup, tablespoon, small saucepan with lid, frying pan.

Ingredients

Step-by-step preparation of the dish

  1. Finely chop three large onions or grate them on a coarse grater.
  2. Beat two eggs into thoroughly mixed onion and semolina, add half a teaspoon of salt and ground pepper to taste.
    Onion cutlets are among the budget recipes - the simplest and fastest to prepare, as well as the most affordable dishes in terms of finances.
  3. Dissolve two large cloves of garlic on a fine grater or crush them with a garlic press and also add to the minced cutlet.
  4. Knead the mixture thoroughly and let stand for 5-10 minutes so that the semolina swells a little.
  5. Use a tablespoon or your hands to form small cutlets and fry them in well-heated oil on both sides until cooked.
  6. After all the cutlets are fried, there is no need to turn off the burner under the frying pan - we will prepare the tomato sauce.

  7. Dilute a tablespoon of tomato paste with 300 ml of boiled water to obtain tomato juice. Pour the prepared tomato juice into a frying pan with hot vegetable oil after frying the cutlets and bring to a boil.
  8. Remove the overcooked and fallen pieces of onion formed during frying.
  9. Let the liquid simmer for a few minutes until the filling thickens slightly, pour it over the finished cutlets and cover with a lid.
  10. Place the pan with cutlets on the burner and simmer over low heat for about 7-10 minutes.

The dish is served piping hot. Otherwise, if you let them sit for a while, the cutlets will absorb all the sauce and become soft, too tender, and easily crumble.

I suggest watching a short video about the correct technology for preparing onion cutlets with the addition of semolina. Make sure there is nothing complicated here.

Basic truths

  • If you dissolve the onion in a blender
    , it will give a lot of juice and you will get not cutlets, but onion pancakes. And their manufacturing technology is somewhat different.
  • Before pouring oil into a frying pan
    , you need to heat it thoroughly, let it sit and warm up the oil, and only then lay out the cutlets for frying.
  • Before preparing the sauce
    for pouring from a hot frying pan, it is necessary to remove the pieces of overcooked onion remaining after frying so as not to spoil the taste of the pouring.

Onion cutlets are very easy to make and require very little ingredients. You can eat them with a side dish or just like that.

This is a quick basic recipe where the main ingredient is, of course, onions.

Onion cutlets are a fairly simple, but at the same time delicious dish.

  • three large onions;
  • favorite spices;
  • one egg;
  • three tbsp. l. flour.

  1. Peel the onion, wash it and chop it very finely.
  2. Beat an egg into it, add flour and selected spices. Onions go very well with ground paprika.
  3. Mix everything thoroughly - you should get something similar to minced meat.
  4. Spoon a small amount of mixture into a hot frying pan and cook until done on both sides.

Cooking option with semolina

You can make onion cutlets with semolina instead of flour. This way it will be even more satisfying, and the taste will not deteriorate at all.

Required Products:

  • one egg;
  • 300 grams of onion;
  • 4 large spoons of semolina;
  • spoon of ketchup;
  • spices that you can find in the bins.

Algorithm for preparing cutlets:

Tender onion cutlets with semolina

There have been cases when onion cutlets were served without telling what the dish was made from. People were at a loss, some compared the taste with potato pancakes, others - with fish cutlets, others - with cutlets made from some kind of tender meat and even with chebureks. And no one could guess that these were onion cutlets.

The fact is that when onions are fried, they lose their bitterness, and when combined with semolina, they acquire a very interesting, pleasant taste.

This is a very simple dish, although it is also prepared in restaurants.

Plus, cooking onion cutlets will take no more than 20 minutes.

How to cook onion cutlets

I often remember this humorous story: “If you have one egg in your refrigerator...”.

To it we need to add the same amount of onion and semolina.

But seriously, you will need:

  • 2-3 large onions
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 2-3 tablespoons semolina
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • butter for frying

The calculation here is as follows: all ingredients are taken in equal quantities, i.e., if there are 2 onions, then there are 2 eggs, 3 onions, therefore there are 3 eggs.

To ensure that the onion is free of excessive bitterness and odor, you can soak it in advance in salted cold water with vinegar for a short time, or you can simply pour boiling water over it. But I don’t do this, because after frying the cutlets, all the bitterness disappears.

Finely chop the onion with a knife. I cut the onion in half, then each half lengthwise and crosswise, and then run the knife through the entire mass.

You can chop onions in a blender, but not into porridge.

If the onion is very juicy and a lot of moisture is released from it, it is advisable to get rid of it by squeezing the onion through a strainer.

Break the eggs into the onion mixture, mix, add salt (just a little, a pinch), pepper and semolina. We take semolina with a heap on a spoon, you can add one more to the above amount so that the dough is not too liquid.

The original recipe, which I first learned some time ago, suggested using flour. You can also make onion cutlets with it. But for a long time now, wherever possible, I have been replacing flour with. Onion cutlets with semolina come out with a crispy and aromatic fried crust.

The dough is ready, now heat the butter in a frying pan (I use ghee). Compared to vegetable oil, which I refused due to its harmfulness, butter will give onion cutlets a more beautiful rich color and a pleasant creamy taste.

We place our cutlets with a spoon in a frying pan and fry on both sides.

This recipe for onion cutlets is similar to how different ones are prepared. In principle, they are often called pancakes. But I’m somehow more accustomed to the name onion cutlets.

In part, this is a healthy dish, since onions, as you know, contain a lot of useful vitamins and microelements. But the frying process, of course, spoils things a little. Although, if you leave the moisture formed during cutting in the onion, the cutlets will steam rather than fry, you won’t get a crust, but this will not change the delicate taste of the cutlets.

The onion cutlets, the recipe for which I described, can be served as an independent dish only with sauce, or with a side dish, for example, with.

Any sauce is suitable: spicy, sweet, white, red, soy, you can just use sour cream.

Let's love onions with renewed vigor and with a new dish?

Onion cutlets with semolina. Step by step recipe

Mix the onion with semolina, beat in two eggs and three garlic on a fine grater. Mix all this, add salt and pepper to taste. There is no flour in the recipe: for piquancy and color (yellowish), you can add 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric. Leave for a couple of minutes: let the semolina swell. We don't need flour, so we'll give the semolina time to absorb excess moisture and juice.
  2. It's time to prepare a frying pan, pour in sunflower oil and heat it up. After wetting your hands, form cutlets in the shapes you prefer. Fry the cutlets without meat on both sides until golden brown. There is no need to fry: it is enough for the cutlets to keep their shape. Place in a saucepan.
  3. After the last cutlet is fried, pour tomato juice into the frying pan. Let it warm up a little and pour our vegetarian cutlets into the saucepan.

You shouldn’t just pour tomato juice into a saucepan, since the ingredients should be almost the same temperature.

  1. Cover with a lid and leave to simmer for 15 minutes on low heat. If it turns out that you don’t have tomato juice, no problem. It can be replaced with either tomato sauce or ketchup. Just first dilute them with boiled water to the required consistency.
  2. At the end of cooking, throw a bay leaf into the pan - it will add flavor to the cutlets. The onion cutlets are ready.

Delicious vegetable cutlets are great served with buckwheat, rice or mashed potatoes. They are so tender and delicious that they simply melt in your mouth.
