Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make semolina cutlets? Prepare your food. Semolina cutlets are usually served with gravy in the form of berry jelly. Therefore, first of all, cook the jelly. Prepare food for him. Any berries for jelly are suitable; you can use both fresh and frozen. I have cranberry, it’s a classic combination. Add sugar to taste; the more sour the berry, the more sugar.

Step 2
Take a saucepan, pour 500 ml of water into it and place on high heat. As soon as the water boils, add the berries to it. Wait for the water to boil again and remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover it with a lid and leave for 10 minutes.
