Cutlets are a simple dish that goes well with various side dishes.

But to make it not only tasty, but also tender and juicy, you need to take into account some culinary subtleties.

What to add to cutlets

The rule of adding softened bread should not be ignored.

It is this product that helps to preserve the juiciness and fluffiness of the dish during frying. Without it, the cutlets turn out denser and lower.

You also need to add vegetables. This could be onions, potatoes, zucchini or cabbage, which will make the taste more interesting, and the treat itself will be juicy, tender and airy.

Another rule is that you definitely can't overdo it with the amount of eggs in the mince. In this case, the treat will be tough. For 600 g of mince, just 1 egg will be enough.

If desired, this component can be easily replaced with starch. In the case when you don’t want to add this ingredient either, breading will save the day. You can use flour or breadcrumbs for this.

The last rule for cooking delicious cutlets is that it is better to fry the second side of the workpiece under the lid. In this case, all the excess moisture will go away, but you will get an appetizing and golden crust.
