This simple, budget-friendly, and original recipe has everything you need for healthy eating: steamed lean meat becomes even more nutritious when paired with vegetables and fruit—literally just an onion and an apple.
Ingredients: ground chicken – 1.1 lbs; apple – 1; onion – 1; semolina – 2 tablespoons; ground black pepper and salt – to taste.
Blend the apple and onion until smooth. Add them to the ground chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Incorporate the semolina—it’s just as much a binder for the patties as the onion. Mix the ingredients and let the mixture sit in a cool place to allow the semolina to swell. After an hour, you can shape the patties. Place the formed patties in a steamer and cook for 20 minutes.
Life Hack
Instead of an apple, you can add chopped pumpkin or carrot to the patty mixture—these ingredients will enhance the juiciness and flavor of the chicken, enrich the dish with carotenoids, and give the steamed patties a nice golden color.
