Cutlets with stuffing

Method

1. Grind the meat until smooth using a meat grinder or a food processor.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, boiled and chopped cabbage, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking the cutlets or heat a frying pan over medium heat if pan-frying.
4. Boil the broccoli florets in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
5. Take a handful of the meat mixture and shape it into a cutlet. Make an indentation in the center of the cutlet and place a bed of broccoli florets inside. Seal the cutlet to enclose the broccoli.
6. If baking, place the cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
7. If pan-frying, heat a small amount of cooking oil in the frying pan. Carefully place the cutlets in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely browned.
8. Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the oven or pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the smooth meat and cabbage cutlets with broccoli as a delicious main dish. They can be enjoyed on their own or served with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
10. Enjoy your meal!
