Sometimes we are faced with the fact that we do not have enough meat to prepare cutlets in the required volume.
Some people in this case start thinking about new ideas for lunch or dinner.
But enterprising cooks know tricks that will help them make a whole mountain of cutlets from a small amount of meat, shared Yulia Arkhipova, a culinary expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What can be added to minced meat?
Raw potatoes
These cutlets will be unusually juicy, tasty and high-quality. You don't even have to add eggs: the potatoes themselves will "bind" the mince.
For half a kilo of meat you can take up to three medium-sized tubers.
Boiled rice
These cutlets will turn out somewhat unexpected, but their taste will certainly please you. You can add up to a glass of cereal. First, you need to wash the rice and cook it according to all the rules.
Afterwards, when cooled, it is added to the cutlet mince.
Oat flakes
These cutlets will be very filling, appetizing and fluffy. For half a kilo of the main product, you should take 200 grams of flakes.
However, they need to be prepared first: put the flakes in a container with hot water for about ten minutes. After that, the component can be mixed with the minced meat.
