Everyone knows that to make the mincemeat juicier and fluffier, you need to add a little onion to it.
But at the same time, many housewives argue about the best form to use this vegetable.
Some argue that the taste and aroma can be made more vivid by mixing raw onions into the meat mixture.
Others are sure that the vegetable must be fried first.
But what is the correct way?
Experienced cooks recommend adding fried onions.
This applies to any cutlets: meat, poultry, fish.
The fact is that raw vegetables have a sharp taste and also contain acid, which can spoil the minced meat and reduce its shelf life.
Experts note that onions should be cooked for literally a few minutes with the addition of a small amount of oil.
You should also avoid using too much onion when making minced meat.
For one kilogram of meat product it is enough to take 200 grams of fried onions.
