Millet and potato cutlets with mushrooms

6 servings

60 minutes

Buckwheat-potato zrazy with mushrooms is a traditional dish of Lithuanian cuisine that embodies the simplicity and heartiness of rustic food. Historically, zrazy were prepared as a convenient and practical dish combining accessible ingredients: potatoes, buckwheat, and mushrooms. The tender potato base complemented by buckwheat creates a soft texture, while sautéed mushrooms with onions add a rich, aromatic flavor. Thanks to the crust on the surface formed by the groats, an appetizing crispy crust is created. These zrazy are perfect for both everyday lunch and festive tables. They can be served with sour cream, fresh vegetables or light sauces. This dish is especially warming on cool days, reminding one of the warmth of home.
