Cutlets can safely be classified as a dish that you can practice preparing all your life and constantly discover something new.
Sometimes tricks and techniques allow us to achieve such unexpected results that interest in preparing the dish only grows.
If you want your cutlets to be perfect, then chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of cooking, advises paying attention to several important points.
What do they consist of?
The meat must be of good quality
Some housewives believe that inexpensive sinewy meat, which is simply not suitable for other dishes, is quite suitable for cutlets. But in this case, the cutlets will not turn out well either.
Even if you grind the meat finely and add all the secret ingredients, the cutlets will turn out mediocre at best.
Proportions
Don't cook cutlets from only one type of meat, even if this idea seems right to you. The dish will always be better if you add different types of meat and combine them.
It is especially important to add pork to dietary varieties for aroma, juiciness and taste.
Salo
You shouldn't ignore this food product: lard can make even incredibly dry mince juicy and tasty. One small piece will be enough.
It is also better to grind lard in a meat grinder.
Potatoes instead of eggs
The egg certainly has an important function. The product connects the other ingredients in the dish and prevents the cutlets from falling apart. However, the egg has one unpleasant feature: the dish can become tough.
But one potato, grated, will perform all the functions of an egg and make the cutlets more tender and juicy.
Be careful with spices
Some housewives are so afraid of cooking bland cutlets that they add a lot of spices. As a result, the taste of the cutlets is not at all what it should be.
Therefore, add no more than one spoon of spices.
Butter
This product will definitely not spoil the cutlets: on the contrary, you are guaranteed a rich taste. One cube, pre-frozen and grated, will be quite enough.
Cucumbers and tomatoes
These are great options for summer cooking of cutlets, when vegetables are cheap. Zucchini and tomatoes, added to the mince, will make it incredibly tasty and tender.
A little sugar
If you consider yourself a connoisseur of cutlets with a crust, then you simply must add a little sugar to the mince. Thanks to this, you will be able to cook delicious cutlets with a crust of a pleasant color.
