1. Soak the beans overnight. Drain the liquid and blend all the ingredients in a food processor until fine. Transfer it to a bowl, cover with cling foil and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. 2. Form into 10 even cutlets by squeezing it lightly and tapping with your hands. 3. Fry it for 5 minutes on each side with a generous amount of oil. 4. For mushroom sauce, fry the onion in a pan until translucent. Add the mushroom with salt and pepper, and fry until softened. 5. Add the flour and stir until everything is coated. Mix in the sour cream and water and mix until it thickens. 6. Lastly, add the dill and adjust the seasoning. 7. Serve with any form of potatoes and pickles! (Raw sauerkraut works very well here too).
Sneaky meat products are what my paranoia is made of (and one of the main reasons I don't eat at restaurants). You think you're safe but you decide to risk looking stuck up/picky and ask the 'but there's like no meat in this dish, right' and turns out it's not paranoia when everyone is convinced any dish can be elevated with just a bit of the good oil or bacon. I mean everyone. I still remember when my aunt admitted the secret to her dough (for sweet pastry) is animal fat and told me it's just fat and a bit and doesn't count. Or when my grandfather tried to hide he uses (really greasy type of) bacon as a base for his famous sviečkovú. Buying premade pasta sauce is where having a vegetarian/vegan label would be greatly appreciated but noooo… No one needs those, right? 😅
I’m Polish from Kujawy region and we love this dish too. Minus mushroom sauce for me
Another meat oriented culture that people don't thibk of as such is Japan. Especially in rural areas, they often don't have veggie options or don't declare if they use meat or fish broth. Most memorable case that I found on the menu: "Vegetarion option (just a little bit meat)" 😅
That looks absolutely delicious. Im romanian, we have similar dishes, and we have vegan potatoes dishes: chips, roast potatoes, even mash (add the boiling water from the potatoes and oil instead of milk and butter). We also have potatoes salad, you can make it with hard boiled, sliced or cubed potatoes, olives, sliced pickled bell peppers and cucumbers, olives, sliced fresh onions and vinegrette sauce (vinegar, oil, salt). You can add fresh dill or parsley, it's delicious. Best of luck 😊
You can try jackfruit too, raw jackfruit can be cooked with variety of spices and gives a really nice texture, I've tried making pork pulled sandwich and it turned out so good so maybe that's an alternative worth trying
Non-vegetarian food is banned in Palitana city of India. It's the first city in the world where it is illegal from butchering meat to serving non-vegetarian food.
2025 is about to be my borscht and blini era 🔥🙏🏽🤤
Amo i tuoi look! Questo maglione è stupendo
What country is potato eastern european? Surely thats all of them 😂
My comfort food would either be a good soup or Sauerkraut with sausages and bread.
We need vlogs when u visit your country🥰
Looks very Polish too 😊
Do you have to use dried beans? Or are canned beans also okay? Looks amazing 😍
"Randomly garnished with bacon bits" You mean on stuff like the red cabbage on the side? Or the brussel sprouts. Sometimes the potatoes too. Yeah my grandma was a big fan of that, and mom isn't that different^^ (But then again, they did grew up in Poland, so eastern europe)
The way I gasped when you said " kotletai " perfectly. I'm Lithuanian so this made me happi 😀 gonna have to try making this, I would love this for sure
That looks so good! Thank you!
pork belly fat pancake sauce is absolutely out of control
Why don't you eat meat what's wrong with you 😭
so how does the "meat" taste?
Man that looks good❤
Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful vegan version
looks delicious! I love falafel, but my favorite childhood comfort food is southern biscuits and gravy. it's easy enough to make vegan, but I want to try it again with the new plant-based sausage products available here.
Thank you for getting me to watch culinary class wars! Best show ever! I'm so inspired
Wait so you’re Lithuanian?
My favourite food and comfort food and the same time are Ruthenian Dumplings (Pierogi Ruskie from Poland) with Twaróg cheese potatoes and fried onions. Brings back many memories and also is from my region:)
You can easily improvise with the cutlets. They turn out drier than the ones with meat so you can add cooked mushrooms to add some juiciness.
For cutlets:
200g dried beans
1 onion
15g dill
15g parsley
5 garlic cloves
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
4 tbsp milk
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Mushroom sauce:
1 onion, finely diced
250g mushroom, sliced
1 tbsp flour
3 tbsp sour cream
200ml water
Handful of dill, chopped
Pepper
Method:
1. Soak the beans overnight. Drain the liquid and blend all the ingredients in a food processor until fine. Transfer it to a bowl, cover with cling foil and let it sit for 15-30 minutes.
2. Form into 10 even cutlets by squeezing it lightly and tapping with your hands.
3. Fry it for 5 minutes on each side with a generous amount of oil.
4. For mushroom sauce, fry the onion in a pan until translucent. Add the mushroom with salt and pepper, and fry until softened.
5. Add the flour and stir until everything is coated. Mix in the sour cream and water and mix until it thickens.
6. Lastly, add the dill and adjust the seasoning.
7. Serve with any form of potatoes and pickles! (Raw sauerkraut works very well here too).
