I call such cutlets beneficial. They are actually extremely beneficial. Just think, just a handful of minced meat and the whole family is well-fed and happy. Moreover, a small amount of meat does not affect their quality at all. They remain juicy, fragrant and very tasty.
If you have some minced meat left in your freezer, defrost it quickly. Now we are going to cook the most breathtaking burgers on earth without making a dent in the family budget. In addition to meat, we need potatoes. We will wash it, clean it and rub it on a fine grater. Now you need to squeeze out and drain the starch. He's not useful to us.
Now we take the carrot. Mine and clean it just as thoroughly. We grate the carrots on the finest grater With onions we will think in the same way (we take the turnip onions), but we will not grate it, but just finely chop it. Although those who do not want to mess with the onion can be advised to pass it through a meat grinder with a middle mesh cell.
Grate and add finely chopped garlic to the vegetable mixture. Soak bread or a bun (you can stale, yesterday's) milk in advance (I soaked it in water with an egg a couple of times for lack of milk).
And now the crucial moment: we combine all the ingredients with minced meat. You need to salt to taste, pepper (do not overdo it, because half of the minced meat does not consist of meat). Finely chop the greens and add to the mass. I cut the greens very finely, because the stalks of parsley and dill are not felt in the finished product, but they give flavor. You can put any herbs and condiments that you like and that you have on hand right now.
Minced meat must be mixed very well.
I pour a small slide of bread crumbs onto a cutting board (you can make them yourself, or you can buy ready-made ones in the store). Now our task is to make cutlets, roll in breadcrumbs and fry in a hot skillet with the addition of odorless vegetable oil (refined). Some do not use it, preferring other varieties, there are no contraindications for this, take what you think is necessary.
The process of making cutlets is very simple, and the result is pleasing every time. At the same time, we can say with confidence that the cutlets always turn out to be very tasty, there was not a single mistake.
Speaking of minced meat, it should be noted that anyone can take it. Simple minced chicken and beef and pork are also suitable. sometimes I combine these options. it is especially convenient if there is a little one and the other minced meat left from the preparation of some kind of dishes. You can not worry about this and feel free to put everything in one dish and mix it properly.
Let's go back to our cutlets. Here, we prepared them and put them in a frying pan in hot vegetable oil. Fry half a minute over high heat, then reduce it by half, cover with a lid and simmer. Remember that there are vegetables inside and they need time to cook properly.
We fry for about 7 minutes on each side. But it is better to look at the condition of the cutlets, the smaller ones cook faster. Large cutlets need extra time. I focus on the crust color and smell. Sometimes, in order to fry the cutlets with high quality, there is not enough moisture. Then you can add two tablespoons of water directly to the butter with cutlets and quickly cover. This moisture will be enough to cook them successfully.
As a rule, home-made people who eat these cutlets with appetite have no idea that they are not really meat. You don't feel vegetables inside, it just turns out soft, aromatic meat. Try this option for cooking budget cutlets and you. Enjoy your meal!
