Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
### Ingredients
- 1 bowl of boiled mushrooms (about 300 g)
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 large onion
- 6-7 cloves of garlic
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of flour
- Oil for frying
### Step by step
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by boiling the mushrooms in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Once cooked, let them cool and chop them finely with a knife or pass them through a meat grinder.
2. Grating the potatoes: Peel the potatoes, wash them well, and grate them using a fine grater. This will help bind the mixture and add a pleasant texture to the fritters.
3. Soaking the bread: Take the two slices of bread and soak them in cold water for a few minutes, then squeeze them well. After draining, you can add them to the meat grinder to obtain a fine paste.
4. Chopping the onion and garlic: Peel the onion and garlic, wash them, and chop them finely or pass them through the meat grinder. The garlic will add an intense flavor to the fritters.
5. Dill and parsley: Wash the herbs, trim the stems, and chop both the dill and parsley finely. These aromatic herbs will add extra flavor to the dish.
6. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped mushrooms, grated potatoes, bread, onion, garlic, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper, then add flour to bind the mixture. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous paste.
7. Shaping the fritters: Wet your hands with a little water to prevent the mixture from sticking, then shape the fritters to your desired size. You can make small fritters for appetizers or larger ones to serve as a main dish.
8. Frying: In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the fritters and fry them until golden on both sides (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to fry evenly.
9. Draining excess oil: After frying, remove the fritters onto paper towels to eliminate excess oil. Then transfer them to another plate, also on kitchen towels.
### Useful tips
- Variations: You can also add other vegetables to the mixture, such as grated carrots or zucchini, for extra nutrients and texture.
- Serving: These fritters are delicious served with garlic and dill yogurt sauce or with a fresh salad on the side.
- Storage: If you have leftover fritters, you can keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze them to enjoy later.
So now you have all the information you need to prepare these delicious and healthy mushroom fritters. Enjoy your meal!
