Step-by-step preparation of mackerel semolina cakes, recipe with photo:
1. Defrost the mackerel first, because in our country it is usually sold frozen. Then remove all entrails, cut off the head and tail, and separate the fillets from the ridge. Remove all bones from the fillet, wash under running water, dry with a paper towel, cut into medium-sized pieces and lower into the bowl of the food processor.
2. Peel the onions, wash, cut into slices and add to the mackerel in the food processor. Switch on the appliance and grind the food until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, twist the food through a meat grinder.
3. Add mayonnaise to the minced meat and season with salt and black pepper. Add any spices and herbs as desired.
4. Add semolina to the food.
5. Next, pour in a raw egg.
6. Turn on the device and stir the minced meat until smooth. Remove it from the bowl of the food processor and let it sit for 20 minutes for the semolina to swell and expand. Otherwise, it will grind on your teeth in finished products.
7. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. Wet your hands with water so that the minced meat does not fall on them. Take a portion of the dough and form into round meatballs. Optionally, the meatballs can be breaded in semolina, bread crumbs, wheat and oat flour.
Put them in a hot skillet, leaving a small distance between the cutlets, because semolina in the process of frying may increase slightly, from which the meatballs stick together.
8. Fry the mackerel semolina over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
