Cutlets without onions are not cutlets: this ingredient not only gives the dish the desired taste, but also makes it juicy.
But not every housewife knows how to add onions to minced meat.
It can be minced together with the meat, grated on a fine grater, or chopped with a knife.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova answered this question.
It turns out that the method for chopping onions depends on the type of minced meat.
If the mince is prepared from meat minced through a meat grinder, you can use the same meat grinder, blender or grater to chop the onion.
The onion will turn into a mush and give off a lot of juice – the resulting cutlets will be unusually juicy.
If you are preparing chopped cutlets, then you need to chop the onion with a knife.
The size of the cut depends on the cook's preferences. If you decide to chop the onion into large pieces, steam the cutlets under the lid to avoid unpleasant crunch and the taste of raw onion.
