The text says "kotlety" which are basically meatballs:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutlet#Cuisines_of_Russia,_Ukraine_and_other_countries_of_former_Soviet_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutlet#Cuisines_of_Russia,_Ukr.... But I don't understand what I'm looking at either. Maybe it's the ground meat mix that you shape the cutlets yourself before frying? But what is the bread-looking half on the left side?
- MikusR 4y agoFrom visuals it looks like buckwheat with possibly two cutlets under bechamel sauce
- borski 4y agoThe right side is almost certainly buckwheat, known to Russians simply as “kasha.” The left side is likely the cutlets themselves (the little brown outlines) surrounded by some (cold) white sauce that once heated turns more liquid.
- allarm 4y agoIt is buckwheat, known to Russians as “Grechka”. It is quite nice, goes well with meat or even mixed with milk. The white substance is most likely fat.
- borski 4y agoHaha I forgot we called it grechka. Technically grechnevaya kasha, but colloquially called either grechka or kasha; my grandpa was obsessed with it lol, so we just always called it “ne vkusnaya kasha” aka “not tasty porridge” lol
