When preparing any dish, the secret to success largely depends on how well-tested the recipe is.

The quality and taste of food depends on the correct proportions.

When preparing cutlets, many housewives make the mistake of adding ingredients "by eye". As a result, the dish may turn out either dry or not very tasty.

The thing is that cooks do not always care about the correct ratio of meat and onions. But these are the main products that make food high-quality.

What should be the ideal proportions?

It is worth noting that onions are primarily added to make the meat more flavorful, juicy and tender. The vegetable has excellent properties for improving the quality of meat.

However, in most cases, either too much onion is added or too little.

As it turns out, a third of the minced meat should be onion. In order for the vegetable not to "interrupt" the sound of the other ingredients, it should be minced right along with the meat.

In this case, you will get perfectly juicy and tasty cutlets that you won’t be ashamed to put on the table.
