Not all housewives add various unusual ingredients to their cutlets: many are used to limiting themselves to the classic set of products.
It cannot be said that this approach is wrong.
However, some ingredients are still capable of taking cutlets literally to a new level, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
A striking example would be the introduction of vegetables into the minced meat.
For what purpose are these products added?
In most cases, vegetables in cutlet mince have one simple function: they give the dish an unprecedented level of juiciness. For this purpose, you can add potatoes, tomatoes (pre-peeled), zucchini, pumpkin.
Some vegetables help replace bread. An example of this is cabbage, which is also included in the mince.
An interesting flavor is added by carrots, which also “soften” the taste of the meat.
Adding vegetables makes the cutlets not only juicier, but also easier to digest.
