Cutlets in Creamy Mushroom Sauce

These golden cutlets simmer in a velvety mushroom cream sauce until tender and rich — a cozy one-pan dinner that feels special without any fuss. The mushrooms and melted mozzarella keep every bite juicy, while fresh spinach wilts right into the sauce.

Ingredients

• 700 g ground meat
• 250 g mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• Mozzarella cheese, grated
• 100-120 ml cream (20%)
• Fresh spinach (optional)
• Salt and dried garlic to taste

Instructions

1. Fry the chopped mushrooms. Mix into the ground meat with the grated mozzarella, green onions, salt, and seasonings.
2. Mix well and form small cutlets. Fry in a skillet until golden.
3. Pour in the cream, add a little salt, the dried garlic, and the spinach.
4. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buckwheat.

Tips

• Let the mushrooms fry until they release their moisture and turn golden — this keeps the cutlets from getting soggy.
• Use a light hand when forming the cutlets so they stay tender; Allrecipes has plenty of tips for shaping perfect patties.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buckwheat, and spoon plenty of sauce over the top.
