Cooking cutlets is not difficult.

But many housewives argue about the composition of the meat dough for this dish. Some are sure that onions are a necessary component, while others are of the opinion that the vegetable only spoils the treat. But who is right?

Professional chefs say that onions really should be added to minced meat.

This product makes the cutlets fluffy, juicy, and also prevents them from falling apart when fried.

The cutlet may contain either raw or fried onions.

If you are using fresh vegetables, the minced meat should be put into the frying pan immediately, otherwise it will turn sour.

In addition, it is important not to overdo it with onions. Just 100 grams of the product per 1 kilogram of minced meat is enough. If you overdo it, the dish will have a bitter taste.

First, the onion should be minced or gratered. If the meat is chopped for cutlets, you can cut the vegetable with a knife.
