Even from the most modest minced meat you can make fluffy and juicy cutlets if you add certain ingredients.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a cook and a fourth-class baker from the online publication Belnovosti, tells us how to improve the quality of minced meat for cutlets.
If the meat is tough and stringy, a meat grinder will not make it tender, it will only chop it up.
In this case, it is worth putting a piece of lard through a meat grinder along with the meat.
Secondly, you can add raw potatoes and sautéed onions instead of bread.
You need to add less potatoes than bread (no more than 20% of the minced meat weight).
In addition, you can add crushed ice or a spoonful of cognac to the minced meat.
