Delicious meat patties - the general principles of cooking
In order for meat patties to turn out really tasty, juicy and soft, you need to follow some simple rules:
• Stuffing should be strictly home cooked, in any case not purchased. It is not so important what kind of meat you prefer, the main thing is that you will rinse, cut and twist or cut it yourself. It is better if you twist the stuffing immediately before cooking the chops. Frozen minced meatballs come out not so juicy and tasty.
• Meat for stuffing need to buy high-quality, in proven places. The third term, meat with streaks for making delicious meatballs does not fit, set it aside for another dish. Meat patties should be cooked from good pork, beef, veal tenderloin or chicken fillet.
• Grind meat through a coarse grate or cut into small cubes with a sharp knife. Thanks to this method of grinding, meat fibers retain all the juices, which will make the chops tasty. Strongly ground beef leads to dryness of products.
• Do not forget to add bread soaked in water or milk to mincemeat. This is necessary not in order to increase the volume of minced meat, but so that when roasting, meat juices do not flow out, but remain in the cutlet, soaking into the bread.
• Add to the stuffing juicy and fragrant onions, garlic. You can either twist it together with the meat in a meat grinder, or grind it with a blender. In addition, onions can be put in stuffing not only raw, but also pre-fried. • If you have only lean meat, do not take some fat.
• Spices in meatballs are a special question. It all depends on your taste, but usually ordinary black pepper is enough.
• Before making cutlets, do not be lazy for a long time and knead the stuffing thoroughly. Fight him, wrinkle, throw on the table. The longer and sharper you do it, the denser and juicier the chops will be. And they will not fall apart during frying, even if you do not put eggs in minced meat, which, by the way, make burgers not so soft and tender.
• Scrape patties, wetting your hands in water. So they will not stick to your hands, they will turn out beautifully the same shape.
• There are no special recommendations regarding the coating. Cutlets can not be breaded, but if you like crisp, take flour, crackers, semolina - which is more like.
• The frying pan for frying should be clean and dry, the oil in which you will put the tasty meat patties hot.
• Cutlets are fried on both sides, first to set on medium heat, then at minimum.
• Do not forget after each batch to remove the separated and burnt particles from the pan.

Delicious Meat Patties - Tips and Tricks
• Do not use a fine grate for twisting meat. The opinion that ground beef patties are more tender is wrong.
• For even more juiciness, you can add butter to the mince, twisted lard, sour cream, low-fat mayonnaise. • Thanks to the breading, delicious meat patties will acquire a crispy, crusty, appetizing color. It is better to brend the product two or three times: dip it, let it rest, dip it again in the breading.
• If, despite compliance with the recipe, you have turned out a dryish cutlet, do not worry. Fold the meat patties in a frying pan or saucepan, pour half a glass of the mixture of water and sour cream and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
• Fry the patties best on a mixture of oils: sweet cream and sunflower. So the chops will not splash, and the crust will turn out beautiful and uniform.
• When breading the chops, note that you can add your favorite spices to the flour or crackers, which will give the dish not only an additional flavor, but also a beautiful color. This may be paprika, coriander, dried herbs, granulated garlic and other spices.
• All these recipes are universal, that is, based on them, you can cook your dish from your favorite meat, be it chicken, rabbit, pheasant. For juiciness, do not forget to add a little lard, but if you do not like this kind of meat, put the butter.
• Cutlets combine with any side dishes, so you can cook pasta or cereals in a quick way, or more complex side dishes: mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and many others.
