The Secret Ingredient That Makes Fish Cakes Juicy

Usually, to achieve this result, housewives use lard.

The product really ensures that the cutlets are juicy and tender.

But there is a problem: lard seriously increases the caloric content of the dish. And this does not suit all gourmets.

Another popular additive is butter. But it also makes the food more dangerous for your figure.

But using cheese will be an ideal solution. The product is not as fatty and caloric as lard and butter.

At the same time, the cheese additive makes the fish cutlets more juicy. And also a very bright and pleasant taste appears.

Hard, soft and processed cheeses go well with minced fish.

Earlier, an expert explained why bread for cutlets cannot be put through a meat grinder.
