Cutlets for kids. Steam cutlets for children

cutlets as in kindergarten- another forgotten, but pleasant taste. The very first experience of meat-eating, which many children like. This is an appetizing choice for young gourmets, regardless of the era of birth and continents of residence.

And it often happens that the love for cocoa, meatballs and noodles from childhood then “turns” into a passion for steaks, whiskey and cigars. But in the abundance of tastes of adult life, there is always a place for the same love for "juvenile" cutlets. Tested on my own daughter! All the details of the preparation of "kindergarten" cutlets are in the culinary report of the Menu of the Week portal.

The phenomenon of these cutlets was a mystery to me until I asked for a job with my mother. I really wanted to peep the secrets of the "kindergarten" recipe.

I was given a white coat, removable sterile shoes and was given access to the most delicious "heart" - the kitchen, where from five in the morning they begin to cook porridge for breakfast and then "knead" cutlets for dinner. On kindergarten kitchen all pots are signed, numbered, and cutting boards sorted by cooking method. Cutlets "take" their beginning in the raw products workshop. Butchering here beef carcasses, remove bones, films, tendons and drain meat blood. For example, on the day of my “reporting”, 184 children were on food.

Chef Natalia Ivanovna received almost 24 kilograms of meat. Minus the unusable mass, 18 kilograms went to cutlets. Broth is cooked from meat waste - this is one of the main points in technology. Below I will show technological map for a beef patty - there is a calculation for one serving.

For 200 cutlets, they brought me the following alignment: 17.6 kg of beef, 300 ml of vegetable oil, three loaves, one and a half kilograms of onions and carrots, and about half a kilo of breadcrumbs. Of course, on home kitchen Nobody will make 200 cutlets, so the layout is reduced by a family of four people in the calculation that each will get two cutlets. Well, where have you seen families in which they eat one at a time ?! Two is the minimum!

Recipe for cutlets like in kindergarten

Ingredients:

Beef - 800 grams
Baton - 80 grams
Milk - 1/2 cup
Onion - 1-2 pcs.
Carrot - 1 pc.
Breadcrumbs– 40-50 grams
Vegetable oil- 30 ml.
Salt - to taste

Cooking:

Cutlets in kindergarten are prepared strictly from beef. Sometimes from chicken, less often from lean pork. Lamb and fatty pork are prohibited. Although now the pediatric opinion is already actively “walking” among parents that beef is not the best meat for children.

Piggy without fat is still better for child's body, because the composition of amino acids in the "pork" protein is identical to the human one, and therefore pork is the most non-allergenic meat. However, the developers of the correct baby food still recommend the "cow".

The chopped beef meat is scrolled in a meat grinder three times. The first time - only pulp. The second time - meat and onions. The third is meat with onions and a loaf soaked in milk. Salt to taste. The resulting minced meat is beaten well and form small "heaps".

Minced meat is weighed in parts to make it easier to monitor the weight of each cutlet. The requirement in children's institutions is as follows: older children are supposed to be given a cutlet of 70 grams. Taking into account the fact that beef gives 30% “shrinkage”, then the cutlet is formed quite weighty - 100 grams raw. Toddlers get a cutlet a little less.

From the prepared cutlet mass, oval-flattened portions with a pointed end are calibrated. Each cutlet is rolled in breadcrumbs.

The baking sheet is heated to 150-160 degrees. Lubricate with oil, put a little chopped carrots and onions on the bottom.

Cutlets breaded in breadcrumbs are tightly laid on a baking sheet.

The oven is heated to 180-200 degrees. And bake the cutlets for 15 minutes.

It is strictly forbidden to fry cutlets in kindergarten. And this is due to the fact that a large number of portions should not be cooked in oil that is exposed to a long heat treatment. Therefore, in order to avoid harmful carcinogens, kindergarten cutlets are stewed. And many remember how “wet” and “juicy” they are. For stewing, a special broth is cooked from meat trimmings (remains of meat and bones) and carrot-onion sauteing.

Cutlets "grabbed" from the heat are poured ready-made broth“with the head” and stew until tender for about an hour.

Ready cutlets "disperse" into groups. In my mother's kindergarten, they are served with buckwheat or mashed potatoes and boiled beets. I was surprised, but the chef's assistant Nina cut out houses, cars, flowers and stars from beets with cookie cutters. And the kids for dining table actively shared her impressions, who got what. But "wet" and juicy cutlets appetizingly ate in the first place.

In the first years of a baby's life, his taste habits and preferences are formed. So baby meat menu should be not only tasty and healthy, but also varied.
