Cutlets are a dish that has remained relevant for centuries. It changes, modernizes, but it is not removed from the table of thousands of families around the world.
Originally, cutlets were cooked only in France. The recipe was as simple as possible – ribs on the bone were fried in spices and oil. The method of preparation remained unchanged for a long time. But, then came to the Russian Empire, where the meat began to be ground. So there were cutlets made of minced meat with onions and spices. Later, the idea of a similar recipe for cutlets took root in other European countries.
