Liquid mince for cutlets: 5 simple ways to improve the preparation – culinary tricks
Homemade cutlets are a tasty and simple dish that helps you forget about hunger for a long time.
But at the same time, anyone who likes to serve this meat treat for dinner knows that it is better to prepare the minced meat yourself.
However, there may be some difficulties with store-bought products.
It happens that the semi-finished product is too liquid. It is unlikely that you will be able to make fluffy and juicy cutlets from it that will not fall apart during frying. But you can fix the situation and improve the texture of the minced meat quite easily.
What to do if the mince is too runny
Additional components that will absorb excess moisture will help.
First of all, semolina will save you, as it absorbs liquid well. The cereal should be mixed with minced meat and left to swell for 20-30 minutes.
Breadcrumbs will also help remove moisture. It is important not to overdo it with them, so that they do not block the meat taste.
Chefs recommend adding potato starch to liquid mince.
If you want to make the taste more interesting, it would not be a bad idea to add some boiled rice or potatoes to the mixture.
In the case when you don't want to use additional ingredients at all, gauze will save you. It is believed that a fairly reliable method is to squeeze the semi-finished product in gauze or put it in a colander for 30 minutes.
