Cutlets first appeared in France and became a national treasure of the country. However, it was our domestic interpretation of cutlets that was able to conquer the world. The thing is that the French prepared this meat product from ribs, the meat was not chopped
. Our cooks came up with the idea of chopping the meat so that butter and spices could be added to it. The English liked the recipe so much that in 2006 Kiev cutlets were included in the list of frequently purchased products in England.
Kiev cutlets are also loved in the U.S., where they are popular in restaurants and cafes of our cuisine.
