CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PATTIES (KOTLETY OR KATLETI)

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms over med/high heat until softened and lightly browned, then mince them in a food processor or put them through the meat grinder. You can also finely chop cooked mushrooms by hand if you're feeling adventurous.
• In a large bowl, combine: 1 lb ground chicken, your cooked & finely chopped mushrooms, grated onion, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste).
• Using an ice cream scoop, place one scoop of the mixture at a time into the flour, then dredge it on both sides and used your hands to create oval patties, tapping off excess flour. If you're making sliders, make them round like mini burgers.
• 4. Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a nonstick skillet. Once oil is hot, add the fritters. Cover and cook until golden on both sides. Cook about 4 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the next. Wipe your skillet with a paper towel between batches and add more oil as needed. Remove to a plate and serve warm.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PATTIES (RUSSIAN KOTLETY)

Steps:

• Place 1 pound of mushrooms in a large skillet. Saute over medium-high heat until softened and lightly browned. Transfer to a food processor and pulse to mince.
• Transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl with 1 pound of ground chicken, grated onion, 2 eggs, ½ a cup of bread crumbs, and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and ½ a teaspoon of pepper.
• Place ½ cup of flour on a plate.
• Drop about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture at a time into the flour. Coat the mixture on all sides and shape into oval patties using your hands. Tap off any excess flour.
• Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet. Once hot, add the patties in batches and cover. Cook until golden brown on all sides. Cook about 4 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the next.
• Keep the cooked patties warm while you cook the rest.
• Serve immediately with potatoes or salad on the side.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM PATTIES (KOTLETY)

Steps:

• 1. For the mushrooms, White Button or Cremini (which is a brown button mushroom) work well. For those in Thailand, think White Shimeji or Buna Shimeji (brown) mushrooms or Shiitake mushrooms. White Log mushrooms may work as well. The types that probably would not work well in this recipe is Ear Wood, Enoki, or King Oyster mushrooms. For this recipe I used mostly Buna Shimeji and Shiitake mushrooms.
• 2. Slice/chop the mushrooms and cook in a non stick pan with 2 tablespoons of heated olive oil. Cook until lightly browned and softened and most of the water is cooked off. Drain.
• 3. Add the cooked mushrooms into a food processor and mince, or if grinding the chicken yourself, just run them through the grinder. If you really have time, mince yourself by hand if desired. (I course ground chicken thighs then simply ran the mushrooms through the grinder right after the chicken was run through.)
• 4. In a large bowl, add the chicken, the mushrooms, onion, eggs, panko, salt and pepper, mix to combine. I just used a large spoon, it mixes very easily.
• 5. Use an ice cream scoop to make perfect size small patties, hand shape into 2-3 inches across for fritters, or just make larger patties for say a sandwich roll.
• 6. In a large non stick pan, heat a splash of olive oil, add the patties, cover and cook about 3-4 minutes per side. When golden brown on each side, remove to paper towels to drain.
• 7. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, or if you make lager patties, enjoy on a sandwich roll with lettuce and mayo.

MUSHROOM LENTIL PATTIES

Steps:

• In the oven, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 5 minutes; transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
• In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat; fry the mushrooms, onion, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until no liquid remains, about 5 minutes.
• Add to the food processor.
• Add the lentils and Worcestershire sauce to the food processor; pulse to mix.
• Mix in the bread crumbs and parsley.
• Form into 8 1/2-inch thick patties.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat; fry the patties, in batches and turning once, until crusty, 8 minutes.
