Nowadays, we can please ourselves with different kinds of cutlets – Moscow, fried, Kiev-style. However, such a great variety was not always there. Originally, this dish was made of ribs. One rib with a bone was separated, marinated and fried. Cutlets
of antiquity resembled a kebab more than a classic modern cutlet. Now we can prepare juicy and hearty cutlets from meat, vegetables and even cereals.
If you can not make cutlets flavorful and tasty, it is worth understanding the technique of their preparation. We will give 8 tips that will help you in cooking this meat product.
Tip #1. Cutlets will not turn out tender and soft if you add eggs to the mincemeat. It is worth excluding this product from the preparation of this dish. Tip
#2. When cooking chicken cutlets, you must be sure to use bread soaked in milk. It is recommended to add ½ loaf per kg of meat.
Tip #3. Soak bread in cream or milk of high fat content. Do not neglect the percentage of fat content, otherwise the cutlets will not be juicy after cooking. Tip
#4. In minced meat, you should not add raw onions. Fry the chopped onions before putting them in the meat mass. Tip
#5. Butter should be put into the meat very cold and in the last turn. You can cut the butter into small cubes and put it in the freezer before cooking.
Tip #6. Do not form cutlets immediately after mixing the components in the stuffing
.
It is recommended to put the mass in the refrigerator for half an hour so that the ingredients soak into each other.Tip
#7. It is not necessary to mold cutlets at once from all the minced meat. It is worth forming only as many cutlets as you need for one meal. The rest of the minced meat should be put in the freezer.
Tip #8. Be sure to roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs and flour. For proper preparation of the dish, we engage both the frying pan and the oven. First, “seal” cutlets in the frying pan, that is, give a golden color. Then we bake the cutlets in the oven for 10 minutes, so that the meat inside is baked.
Also in the mold for baking, we advise you to put garlic cloves, cut into petals. Following these recommendations for cooking, you will get flavorful and juicy cutlets.
