Basic rules for making fried suluguni cheese

Fried cheese is prepared breaded with flour or sesame seeds. Restaurants often use the smoked variety; it does not require breading and can be immediately dipped in hot oil or grilled. But smoked one is difficult to find in Russia, so you need to figure out how to properly bread it.

You will need:

• Flour;
• Eggs;
• Breadcrumbs;
• Sesame seeds.

Instructions

1. First you need to roll each piece without leaving open areas. The breading serves as a retaining shell for the suluguni, preventing it from spreading.
2. You can use batter to which beer has been added (the recipe will be below).
3. Fry the processed pieces on each side, when the crust becomes crispy and takes on a toasted color, it’s ready.
4. You can cook fried cheese with vegetables and herbs. The result is a nutritious and tasty treat that does not require much time. The recipe for this dish is simple, the main thing is to make sure that each piece is well breaded; photos of ready-made dishes are easy to find on the Internet.

Suluguni breaded in sesame

• Flour;

Let's get started

1. Beat the eggs in a convenient cup, you can add herbs or seasonings;
2. Place sesame seeds and flour into two flat plates;
3. Slice the cheese half a centimeter thick;
4. To create a good breading, roll the piece in flour, then dip it in batter, then in sesame seeds, then back in batter, and the final layer should be a layer of sesame seeds;
5. You can start frying suluguni in a preheated frying pan. The oil level should be such that the pieces float freely in it.

5. then bread it in breadcrumbs.
6. We repeat the process 2 or 3 times. The main task is to achieve a dense shell of breadcrumbs on the cheese.
7. Otherwise, when frying, the cheese will simply leak out.
8. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. There is no need to overheat the oil - just heat it well - otherwise the breading will burn instantly. Over medium heat, fry the pieces of cheese on both sides.

Breaded

Suluguni turns out to be very appetizing if you prepare beer batter for it. The ingredients are: wheat flour (250 grams), 300 grams of suluguni, a couple of eggs, dark beer (200 milliliters), some seasonings and vegetable oil.

Suluguni is cut into small pieces or bars. The eggs are shaken using a whisk. Salt is not allowed in cooking. Season the egg mixture and pour in the beer, stir and add the flour all at once.

While the frying pan with oil is heating up, the pieces need to be dipped in the batter. Properly fry in hot fat until the dough turns golden brown. The finished products are laid out on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Tip: Instead of flour, sometimes use ground oatmeal, bran or crushed corn grits.

Fried suluguni with tomatoes

• Suluguni – 500 grams
• Chicken egg – 1 piece
• Wheat flour - 1 Cup
• Breadcrumbs - 1 Cup
• Tomatoes – 3 pieces
• Greens, basil, garlic, spices - To taste

Number of servings: 10

Instructions

1. We are preparing fried suluguni with tomatoes. The tomatoes will be served as salsa, and we will now prepare the suluguni. So, cut the cheese into small, not too thin pieces.
2. Now prepare the breading. The suluguni itself will melt. This process can be delayed by dipping the suluguni in breading. So, beat 1 egg. Dip a piece of suluguni into it. Now place it in a bowl of flour and roll it well. Return the piece back to the bowl with the egg. Now roll out the suluguni in breadcrumbs.
3. Fry the prepared suluguni in vegetable oil. There should be enough oil, but not too much. Breading absorbs fat well. We don't need extra fat, but without butter there won't be an appetizing crust. Fry the suluguni well on one side, turn it over to the other, but fry a little less on this side. Literally immediately (after turning over) the cheese will release whey and begin to melt slightly. Brown the other side and immediately remove the fried piece from the pan.
4. We do this with all the pieces of suluguni. Now let's prepare the salsa. Cut the firm tomatoes into small pieces.
5. Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, chopped parsley and dill. Add basil, chopped thinly. Lightly sprinkle with wine vinegar (literally a couple of drops) and add a little vegetable oil.
6. Squeeze the garlic through a press. Stir the salsa and you are ready to serve the dish. Place a few pieces of fried suluguni on a plate, adding a heap of tomato salsa.

In pita bread

Georgian cuisine is rich in inventive recipes. For example, a small piece is cut from a lavash sheet, from which an envelope is wrapped. It contains cheese cut into pieces or bars. Lavash with suluguni should be fried in a frying pan without oil until a golden brown crust appears, while the heat is set to medium. Get a delicious and easy-to-prepare snack.

You can cut the pita bread into four pieces. Twenty-gram slices are made from the cheese. Branches of greenery crumble finely. Wrap the ingredients in some of the lavash. Fry the resulting squares for 5 minutes, turning over a couple of times.

The other recipe is a little more complicated. For half a kilogram of cheese you need: thin lavash sheets (from 3 to 5), 3 or 4 tomatoes, cilantro, dill and parsley in bunches.

The cheese is cut into small cubes, chopped sprigs of greenery are mixed with them. The skin is removed from the tomatoes. Divide them into rings and lightly add salt. Each bread sheet is divided into 2 parts. Stepping back a little from the edge, place 2 or 3 tomato slices on a leaf, sprinkle with a pinch of herbs and cheese pieces. It's wrapped up like a shawarma. The pan should be dry and hot. The products are laid so that the seam is on the bottom. Fry both sides for about a couple of minutes.
