For the oatmeal cutlets, add half the amount of butter, salt, soup seasoning and oatmeal to the boiling water and cook, stirring frequently, until a thick mass is formed.
In the remaining butter, sauté the finely chopped shallot. Mix the shallots, eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, herbs and spices into the cooled oatmeal mixture.
Form thin loafs (about 6 pieces, depending on size) and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve the oatmeal cutlets with salad and a herb sauce.
