Such cutlets can also be made from chopped meat. To do this, you will have to cut all the prepared meat very finely using a sharp knife. For baby food, it is better to bake cutlets in the oven.

How to make pork and chicken cutlets? Prepare the products. It is better to take breast fillet from chicken meat. Take the pork with the available small amount of lard - the cutlets will turn out juicier. Cut the baton into pieces and soak in milk. It is better if it is not fresh, but a little stale - such bread will better absorb meat juices.

Pass the pork and chicken fillet through a meat grinder or scroll in a blender to make the mince. Put the finished mince in a spacious bowl, in which you will cook the cutlet mass.

Peel the onions from the husks, rinse in cold water and pass through a meat grinder, following the meat. Do the same with a soaked loaf. Before adding to the meat grinder from the loaf, squeeze a little extra milk. Add everything to the bowl. Break one egg to the mince. If you cook minced meat without a meat grinder, you can grate the onion, and simply squeeze the bread and stretch it with your hands.

To taste, add a little salt and spice to taste. I usually add dried greens and ground black peppers to cutlets.

Mix the cutlet mass well with your hands until uniform, so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed among themselves. Beat the mince off the bottom of the bowl. To do this, just raise the mince with your hands and throw it into the bowl. Do it a few times. This is necessary so that the cutlet mass becomes denser and the cutlets do not fall apart during cooking.

With your hands, form small cutlets of round or oval shape and roll them in breadcrumbs. You can take the breadcrumbs ready or make them yourself at home.

Heat the pan to hot and pour a little vegetable oil on it for frying. Put the formed cutlets on it and fry on a low heat on two sides, until golden. Keep each side for about 5 minutes so that the meat has time to cook. For confidence at the end, you can cover the pan with a lid and hold the cutlets for a couple of minutes.

Ready-made cutlets can be served as an independent dish or supplemented with a side dish of mashed potatoes, rice or spaghetti. Serve the cutlets hot. Enjoy your meal!

Any oil is useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoke at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Important! An improperly selected frying pan can spoil even the nicest recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect pan for different dishes read here.
