Minced meat patties are a favorite dish of many of us. Personally, I am ready to eat cutlets for dinner at least every day. Despite the popularity of this dish, not everyone knows how to cook minced meatballs, so I want to introduce you to several recipes with a detailed description of each step.
Recipe 1. For cutlets, we need 250 grams of boneless pork, 250 grams of beef, 1 large onion, 1 egg for a bunch, a slice of white bread (so the cutlets are lush and soft), a little salt and pepper for lovers of sharper breadcrumbs for breading ready cutlets.
So, for starters, skip the meat, bread and onions through a meat grinder. I use electric and a pound of meat I skip for about 7 minutes. Then add the egg and salt into the minced meat and knead it properly so that the salt is distributed throughout the mass. Then I form cutlets in the form of an elongated oval, breading in breadcrumbs, slightly trim the edges and sides with a wooden spatula and send them to freeze. When the cutlets harden a little, take them out and fry in vegetable oil from two sides until golden brown. When I don’t feel like eating fried, I cook steamed cutlets - it turns out also very tasty. Before, I also did not know how to cook minced meatballs , but now, it seems to me, there is nothing easier than cooking this meat dish.
The ideal side dish for such patties, of course, would be mashed potatoes. Porridge, especially oat or buckwheat, goes well with them. Familiar as a side dish for cutlets, she always cooks porridge from several cereals, such as oatmeal, peas, wheat groats and rice. Whoever you like.
Recipe 2. If there is very little meat in the stock, but still really want cutlets, I propose to cook meatballs with minced meat and potatoes. For cooking, we need 300 grams of homemade minced meat (beef + pork), 1 large onion, 2 raw potatoes, a slice of white bread or a loaf, salt and greens if desired, and, of course, breadcrumbs, where would they be without them. By the way, cutlets can be cheapened by replacing part of the minced meat with chicken minced meat, so you get diet cutlets that are as good as beef or pork.
We pass through a meat grinder potatoes, bread and onions, combine with minced meat, salt and mix. Then add the egg, it binds the minced meat and prevents the meatballs from falling apart during frying. From the prepared minced meat, we form the patties, bread them in breadcrumbs and fry them, well, or cook for a couple. If you have problems with digestion, be sure to cook only for a couple.
You can also cook mashed potatoes, porridge or vegetable stew as a side dish. A lot of options, there would be a desire.
In general, the question "how to cook minced meatballs?" many are asked, although there is nothing complicated about it, it’s just worth a try.
Recipe 3. Cutlets can be prepared only from pure pork. Therefore, I offer a recipe for minced pork cutlets . To do this, we need 600 grams of pork, two slices of white bread (they must first be soaked in milk), 1 egg, a clove of garlic, one large onion, salt and spices, if desired. Together with pork, we pass onion, bread, bread and garlic soaked in milk through a meat grinder. Mix everything, salt and add the egg, mix again. Stuffing is ready. We form cutlets, breading them in breadcrumbs and frying in vegetable oil. If the pork was fat, it is better to cook cutlets for a couple, so that later there is no heaviness in the stomach.
It should be noted that cabbage as a side dish for pork cutlets is not suitable, since together they are quite heavy food, especially for children. It is best to cook oatmeal in water, mashed potatoes in milk or just boil pasta.
Well, now you know how to cook minced meatballs quickly and tasty, and most importantly, without preservatives and flavor enhancers. Bon appetit and be healthy!
