How to simply cook zrazy with mushrooms
If you use lean pork, then the composition should contain lard, as in our recipe. When using fatty meat, lard may not be used. Rinse the meat and lard under running water. Cut into small slices.
Peel the onion and garlic cloves. You can adjust them at your discretion. Place all prepared vegetables in the chopping tray. Add white bread.

Grind everything together through a meat grinder.
![](https://i2.wp.com/easycookschool.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/2016/02/zmsg5.jpg)
Add salt and ground pepper to taste. It is possible to use other spices that appeal to you most in this dish. Stir until smooth. The minced meat for the meat is ready, now start preparing the mushroom filling.
![](https://i1.wp.com/easycookschool.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/2016/02/zmsg6.jpg)
Fry chopped onion and finely chopped champignons in sunflower oil. Fry until done and season with salt and pepper. Cool the filling to room temperature.

Now all that remains is to form the zrazy; with mushroom filling this is the easiest to do. Dip your hands in clean water, take a small piece of minced meat (the size of a medium egg), and flatten it into a flat cake. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center and fold the edges of the tortilla over. You will get a tube. And then all you have to do is “caulk” the edges tightly to create a cutlet shape
I made the zrazy differently. I have a special attachment for a meat grinder that makes pieces with a hollow inside from minced meat. You need to get the hang of it to carefully push the mushroom filling into the resulting “tube”, and then pinch the zrazy on both sides in the same way as is usually done with pies.

A recipe for Lithuanian cuisine, which is characterized by minimal use of spices and a wide variety of meat and vegetable dishes. There is not just a lot of onion in meat zrazas - there is a lot of it. But the taste only benefits from this. Adding onions to the minced meat gives the zrazas a spicy kick, fried onions with mushrooms are a delicious juicy filling, and onions added to the sour cream sauce make it thick and rich in taste.
To prepare meat zrazas with mushrooms using this step-by-step photo recipe, it is best to take mixed minced meat from two types of meat or mix pork with chicken. Of course, the filling requires wild mushrooms, but in the absence of such, ordinary champignons will do. Mushrooms and onions need to be well fried so that the filling develops a characteristic mushroom taste. And it is advisable to season it with at least a little ground black pepper - but this is at your discretion. The breading for zraz is made from flour; crackers are not used in this recipe - they will become soggy during subsequent stewing in the sauce. If flour breading is not to your taste, simply fry the zrazy in oil and finish in sour cream sauce.
Ingredients:
- lean meat (pork or half and half chicken) – 400 g;
- onions – 3-4 pcs.;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- salt - half a teaspoon;
- black pepper – a third of a teaspoon;
- basil – 2-3 pinches;
- fresh champignons – 3-4 pieces (large);
- vegetable oil – 4-5 tbsp. spoon;
- flour – 3 tbsp. spoons;
- sour cream – 150-200 ml;
- water – 0.5 cups.
How to cook with photos step by step
We clean the meat from films, cut off the fat. Cut into small pieces, grind in a meat grinder or using a blender with an “upper knife” attachment, or a food processor. Grind half an onion together with the meat. Add spices to the minced meat with onions - basil and ground black pepper.
Beat in one egg, add half a teaspoon of salt - this will be enough. If the zrazy does not seem salty enough, you can make the sauce a little salty. Mix all the ingredients, beat the minced meat until it becomes elastic and homogeneous. Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.
We form round blanks for zraz. Place on a flat plate or cutting board and return to the refrigerator.
For the filling, cut half the onion into small cubes, cut the champignons into small pieces.
Pour one or two tablespoons of oil into the frying pan and heat it up. Add the onion, fry until soft, you can lightly brown it if desired. Add the mushrooms, increase the heat and evaporate all the mushroom juice. Salt and pepper if desired.
Pour a spoonful of flour into a plate. We lay out one zraz blank and flatten it into a flat cake. Place the filling in the middle. We lift the edges, wrapping them over the filling. Immediately roll into a bun and roll in flour.
Place the zrazy in a frying pan with boiling oil. Fry over medium heat for two to three minutes until golden brown appears on the bottom.
Use a spatula to pry it up and turn it over. Fry the second side for about two minutes, no longer. The zrazy will be fully cooked when they are stewed in sour cream sauce.
Transfer the zrazy into a cauldron or saucepan. Add oil to the pan. Chop the remaining onion into large strips or half rings. Fry in oil until soft.
Pour the fried onions over the meat slices, placing them in one or two layers. We take a saucepan with a thick bottom so that the sauce does not burn when stewing.
Pour half a glass of water into the pan and add salt to taste. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Pour in sour cream, heat, but do not bring to a boil. Turn off and leave for 5-10 minutes.
You can serve zrazy with or without any side dish, adding
Step 1: prepare the ingredients.
We remove medium-sized raw potatoes and rinse them under running water. Then use a knife to thinly cut off the skin from it and wash it again, you should have 1 kilogram of peeled potatoes. If you purchased large potatoes, you should cut them into 3-4 parts; if your potatoes are medium-sized, they don’t need to be cut. Place the tubers prepared for cooking in a deep enamel pan and fill with running water so that it is two fingers above the level of the raw potatoes. Turn the stove on high and place the pan on it. After the water has boiled, put 2 laurel leaves into it and screw the stove to the middle level. Approximate cooking time for potatoes 20 – 25 minutes. Behind 5 minutes Before the end of cooking, add salt to taste to the water in which our potatoes are cooked, the main thing is not to put too much salt! In order to check the readiness of the potatoes, take a fork and insert it into the pulp of the tuber. If the tines of a fork go in easily, it means the potatoes are ready; if they go in hard, it means it’s worth boiling this important ingredient for us some more. 5 – 7 minutes, until fully prepared.![](https://i0.wp.com/tvcook.ru/uploads/images/00/01/75/2012/06/22/848baf.jpg)

Description
Potato zrazy with mushrooms- an incredibly aromatic and appetizing dish of Ukrainian cuisine. In fact, zrazy is a national dish in many countries: they are loved and prepared in Belarus and Poland. Each recipe differs in the composition of spices and filling.
Traditionally, zrazy is prepared from meat, but today we will use potatoes as a base. Champignons, like any other mushrooms, go very well with potatoes, especially when fried. This step-by-step recipe with photos will clearly demonstrate to you how to prepare hearty and flavorful potato zrazy with mushroom filling at home.
Absolutely any mushrooms are suitable for the filling: we will use champignons, but you can use other fresh mushrooms to create your own. It is best to fry mushrooms with onions: this way the filling will be more satisfying and aromatic. You can also add some garlic or other spices to it during the process.
These potato zrazy are served with sour cream sauce and fresh herbs.

Cooking steps
Boil the peeled and washed potatoes in slightly salted water until fully cooked. Chop the peeled onion with a sharp knife or in a blender. It is best to simply clean the champignons from debris and cut them into medium-sized cubes (mushrooms, like a sponge, absorb water very easily).
Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the onion until transparent, squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic through a press. Pour the champignons into the pan, stir and fry the ingredients until tender.
Drain the water from the pot with the potatoes and mash the boiled tubers using a spoon or fork. Add a chicken egg, the specified amount of flour and a little starch to the pan, salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until smooth. Starch will contribute to the convenient formation of pies.
Divide the resulting dough into 12 equal parts, roll each part into a neat small flat cake, and drop a tablespoon of mushroom and onion filling into its middle.
We close the filling and connect the edges of the potato dough, giving the zrazas the same shape as shown in the photo.
Heat a frying pan with a thick bottom along with a small amount of vegetable oil and place the zrazy on it.
Fry the potato pies on both sides until golden brown.
Place the finished dish on plates, decorate with sour cream and herbs, and then serve while still hot. Potato zrazy with mushrooms are ready.
Bon appetit!
