Lean cutlets with sweet potato mushrooms on oat flakes

Lean oatmeal cutlets taste like meat, so I advise you to cook them not only as dishes for fasting.
I like these cutlets – they go well with a salad of fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, and porridges. And it's also good to make sandwiches with them – black bread, lettuce leaf, cucumber ring and mushroom cutlets – a real lean burger that not only vegetarians and fasting people can appreciate. Beauty!
Of course, at first glance it may seem that it is difficult to cook lean chopped mushroom cutlets without eggs. But this is not so, if you know some points. Mushroom minced meat (or similar vegetable) should be mixed with some kind of cereal: buckwheat, rice, oat flakes, semolina or potatoes (mashed potatoes). This will help to "glue" the mass, mushroom cutlets will be able to keep their shape. I suggest using oatmeal, since it has a neutral taste, and it also gives softness, makes a more delicate structure to the finished dish.
Any mushrooms will do! Champignons and oyster mushrooms are the most affordable option, they are on sale in any vegetable store, they are not difficult to cook, it is impossible to get poisoned. If you have the opportunity to use forest mushrooms (and you understand them!), then this will be an even better option, especially delicious cutlets of porcini mushrooms, boletus, pears. Of course, volnushki, chanterelles, buttermilk, honeydew are also suitable – any edible species in which you will definitely not go wrong. Each variety of "forest meat" gives its own original taste, so you can experiment daily.
