Housewives often find themselves in this situation: they need to cook more cutlets, but there is very little minced meat left.
In this case, it is not at all necessary to go to the store.
The volume of the cutlet base can be increased by adding other products.
A popular trick is to add grated potatoes or boiled rice to the minced meat.
This culinary life hack really “works”: you get a lot of cutlets, and all the household members and guests are happy.
But there is a more interesting way to increase the volume of the cutlet base: the dish will turn out very appetizing.
What to add to minced meat
Oatmeal is an ideal addition. For every 300 grams of minced meat, there should be one glass of flattened oatmeal.
Before “sending” the flakes into the meat base, they must be poured into a deep bowl and filled with boiling water.
The container should be covered with a flat plate and left for 10 minutes.
The swollen flakes should be mixed with grated onion, several crushed cloves of garlic and one raw egg.
In addition, it is advisable to add a little semolina (1 tbsp) to the mixture.
The resulting mixture must be mixed with minced meat. As a result, you will get a base from which you will make a lot of incredibly tasty cutlets.
