Ideal homemade cutlets - juicy, with a golden crust, not overcooked, fragrant, with a pleasant meaty smell. How to achieve juiciness in cutlets? There are several tricks to make this meat product juicy.
Instructions
Step 1
Puff cutlet. To prepare it, ready-made minced meat for cutlets is folded in a special way. First, a thin cake is formed from a piece of minced meat. Then the cake is folded into three layers. Hands give the mass the shape of a cutlet. Such "flaky" blanks are laid out in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil seam down. Fry as usual.
Step 2
The juiciness of the cutlets is given by the addition of water during the frying process. To do this, first, the cutlets are fried on both sides until golden brown. Then add half a glass of water to the pan. Place a lid on the pan. Turn the heat on under it to a minimum and keep the dish on the stove for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
To make the cutlets juicy, put a piece of ice in each minced meat cake. Form a patty with a piece of ice inside and fry as usual. The same trick can be done with butter - putting a small piece of it in the middle of the minced meat cake.
Step 4
Use only white bread in minced meatballs. It gives it pomp. And before adding it to the minced meat, soak the bread with milk or cream. Dairy products will add juiciness to the finished dish.
Step 5
Finely chopped onion or in the form of gruel (chopped in a blender) makes the cutlets more juicy. The same role can be played by one large potato grated on a fine grater or a chopped piece of fresh zucchini.
Step 6
The breading of the cutlets does not allow the juice to leak out of them during the frying process. Therefore, before heat treatment, cutlets must be breaded. Do it in a choice of flour, bran, and bread crumbs.
Step 7
Additional products such as tomato paste (ketchup), mayonnaise, garlic, green onions, and bell peppers can diversify the taste and enhance the juiciness of minced cutlet.
