Zrazy- a dish of minced meat with filling. Refers to Lithuanian, Polish and Belarusian cuisine.
History and modernity
The history dates back to the 14th century. During this time, the dish has undergone changes. In particular, cooks and housewives have tried many fillings, most of which have received the right to life. They began to add not only eggs, onions and potatoes to zrazy, but also other vegetables and even cereals. In fact, the dish turned into a universal one - it could be prepared with a filling from any product that could be found in the kitchen. Currently, zrazy belongs to international restaurant cuisine, that is, it is prepared in different countries and is equally popular everywhere. The second secret of the popularity of zraz is the speed of preparation of the dish.

Chopped chicken zrazy with mushrooms themselves turn out very juicy. And thanks to the filling, the meat acquires a refined and unique taste.
Before making chicken zrazy with mushrooms, I looked at many recipes. And all of them indicate that the meat needs to be minced in a meat grinder. But I believe that the meat should not be twisted, it should be cut finely with a knife.

Be sure to try my recipe for meat zraza with egg and onion. Our whole family is a supporter of healthy eating, so I try to cook from dietary products that are very beneficial to our body.

What are zrazy
Zrazy (meat rolls) is the most popular dish on holiday tables in Russia and Eastern European countries. Each nation, as well as different housewives, prepares them in a special way. For example, in a Polish restaurant I was lucky enough to try a delicious dish called “zrazy”.
A filling of various ingredients (there were mushrooms, onions and croutons) was wrapped in a thin piece of beef, fried until golden brown. They were served with a side dish (potato dumplings with stewed asparagus) and sour cream sauce. Salt, pepper and mustard were used as spices for meat.
When I was a little girl, my mother often prepared potato zrazy with meat, adding cabbage twisted in a meat grinder to the minced meat. Everyone except me loved this dish. The gravy was unusual but I also didn't like it. I don’t know what has changed since then, only now I love my mother’s zrazy and prepare it for my family (my kids are delighted with it too!).
At home I prepare this dish in different variations. Ingredients for the classic “zraza” recipe for four adults: butter (5 tbsp), vegetable oil (3 tbsp), a lot of onions (chopped fits in 1½ cups), the same amount of mushrooms, a quarter cup breadcrumbs, teaspoon salt, ½ tsp. pepper, 900 grams of beef, 2 tsp. mustard, 3 tbsp. l. flour, a glass of sour cream and meat broth.
Classic zrazy
1. In a frying pan, fry mushrooms with onions in vegetable oil and butter in a ratio of 1:2. They take about 10 minutes to prepare.
2. Then mix the contents of the frying pan with breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, taken in the amount of ½ and ¼ tsp.
To prepare meat zrazy, I cut a beef steak into eight thin slices. I sprinkle with salt and pepper, coat with mustard, put mushrooms and onions on them, distributing equal portions among all the meat plastics (there are 8 of them).
3. I roll the zrazy into rolls, tie it with thread, and roll it out in flour.
4. Place them in a frying pan with the remaining oil. Fry over high heat until they turn golden brown. It takes about 15 minutes to fry.
5. Transfer to a wide pan in one layer. I pour beef broth (pre-cooked on the bone) over them.
6. When the contents boil, place in a preheated oven for 40 - 45 minutes. Zrazy is prepared at a temperature of 170 ° C.
I don't do anything special to make the sauce. I remove the meat from the broth (remove the threads). I put the pan on high heat, add sour cream and herbs (whatever you have in the house) and remove when the contents boil. We usually put this dish on the table without a side dish. In Russia, they often prepare this dish from minced meat, and it’s also delicious!
