Secrets of making perfect minced meat
As you know, the basis of good minced meat is good meat. The advantages of homemade minced meat over purchased ones are quite obvious, because it does not contain chemical additives to extend the shelf life, it consists of understandable ingredients and has the correct meat taste.
The types of minced meat and their combinations will depend solely on the recipe for the dish. The most beneficial way to mix the perfect mince is to combine fatty and juicy pork and beef with a rich, meaty flavor.
Check the sharpness of the knives in a meat grinder or blender for a soft, homogeneous product. In the case of chopping meat in a blender or food processor, there is a high probability that the veins will wrap around the knife and base, therefore, all films and cartilage from the meat must be cut off before chopping.
To enhance the juiciness of minced meat, egg, water or milk are traditionally mixed into it, if desired, cream. If the minced meat has acquired a watery form, it can be "fixed" with bread, mashed potatoes or a few tablespoons of flour. To preserve the juice inside the minced meat, it can be beaten against the table.
