Many housewives know that chefs recommend adding vegetables to the cutlet mince, as this will make the dish juicy, aromatic and tender.

Most often we can hear a recommendation regarding zucchini, especially if it coincides with the season of the product.

Zucchini will make even inexpensive meat juicy and tender. Some also add potatoes to the mince. This component also has an excellent effect on the dish: such cutlets will hold their shape even without using chicken eggs.

But we hear about the use of tomatoes quite rarely.

Juicy tomatoes, chopped correctly, transform the taste of minced meat.

Cutlets prepared in this way are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent: the dish turns out high-quality and impeccable.

For half a kilo of minced meat, take one ripe tomato. The skin is removed from the vegetable, and the product itself is chopped to a puree state.

The rest of the ingredients can be left unchanged.
