Today we will talk about brizols. Or rather, about delicious meat rolls stuffed with pickles, cheese and herbs. And brizol is a method of preparing such meat rolls. And this little-known method with a sonorous French sound lies in the fact that minced meat will be cooked in an egg. Yes, in fact, chops in an egg are also a version of brizol. But you must agree: “minced meat brizoli” sounds much more solid and attractive than “minced meat rolls.”
Brizol is usually prepared from meat products, be it pork, chicken or varieties of minced meat. Minced meat fried in egg or classic brizol itself is a ready-made dish. But minced brizol is served very rarely in this form. Often, other ingredients are also wrapped in minced meat fried in egg, for example, vegetables and cheese. Minced meat brizol with pickled cucumbers is a very good winter version of a delicious French dish. It can be served as a main course or as a cold appetizer. Well, let's cook together!
Ingredients:
- 0.5 kg minced meat (pork + beef);
- 5 eggs;
- 2-3 small pickled cucumbers;
- 100 g cheese;
- a little flour;
- mayonnaise;
- ketchup;
- salt, ground black pepper;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Recipe: minced brizol
1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Beat a little with a fork.
2. Divide the minced meat into several parts and roll into balls. The process of making brisols itself is quite long and complex, so when there are fewer balls, you can deal with them faster. If you are preparing brizoli for a second course, it is better to make 2 or 3 large balls. And if you want to make a snack from brizoli, you can divide the minced meat into 5-7 parts.
3. We stretch cling film onto a cutting board and place our meat ball on top. Press it into a flat patty with your hands, then cover the top with another layer of cling film. Roll out with a rolling pin to form an even thin layer of minced meat.
4. Pour part of the egg mass onto a flat plate.
5. Very carefully place a layer of minced meat into the egg - it cannot be damaged, otherwise the finished brizoli will spread.
6. Salt and pepper on top. Lightly sprinkle with flour. Use a spoon to smooth out the flour a little to make the minced meat more sticky.
7. Add a little more egg mass on top and level the minced meat with a spoon.
8. Carefully transfer to a heated frying pan with vegetable oil. At the same time, we do not turn the minced meat with the egg, but rather shake it off the plate and onto the frying pan.
9. Fry over medium heat until golden brown. Then we turn it over very carefully, for this it will be convenient to stock up on two spatulas, and fry it on the second side. The minced meat is thin and fries quite quickly.
10. Place the finished brizoli on a plate and let it cool.
11. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Chop the dill greens.
12. Cut pickled cucumbers into thin strips.
13. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
14. Lubricate Brizol with mayonnaise.
15. Sprinkle with cheese and lay out pickles as in the photo - this will make it easier to roll up the roll.
16. Roll it up.
All that remains is to decorate with ketchup and sprinkle with herbs on top. Before serving, you can warm up the brizoli in the microwave. Or you can serve them cold. Brizoli with pickles and cheese is ready! Bon appetit!
