Minced meat cakes is a dish I remember from my childhood. My mom often made it, mainly for Sunday lunch. These were simple cakes with pork, breadcrumbs, egg, a little salt and pepper. There was no stuffing in these cakes. Nowadays, I occasionally make such minced cakes at home, mainly because I like trying new dishes and rarely focus on only one dish. If I make dishes with minced meat, I try to diversify them a bit by adding, for example, stuffing. It can be a vegetable or cheese stuffing, at least I use such stuffing with my minced cakes. The stuffing that works well with meat is mushroom stuffing, especially champignon stuffing. I sometimes add regular cheese or mozzarella cheese to it to slightly change its taste.
Minced meat cakes stuffed with mushrooms is a dinner dish I serve with a light salad and mashed potatoes. I serve this dish not only for Sunday lunch but also during the weekdays. I start preparing the minced meat cakes by making the stuffing. It is a very simple stuffing because only mushrooms and onion are needed to make it. The ingredients should be fried on butter and seasoned with salt and pepper.
I make the meat base with poultry, roll, eggs and spices such as salt, and also add freshly chopped parsley to it. Then, I knead the ingredients together for a moment. I form small cakes from it, which I then fill with the stuffing and shape them into balls. When ready, I fry them in hot oil, and serve the cakes immediately after frying. I recommend you the following recipe for minced meat cakes stuffed with mushrooms and I hope you like it.
