Oven cutlets (step by step recipe) - basic principles of cooking
Cutlets are made from any meat. Minced meat is made from pork, chicken, turkey, beef, or cooked assorted. Cutlets can be made from minced meat or minced meat. To prepare the minced meat, take the flesh of meat, peel it from all that is superfluous, wash and cut into small pieces. Grind the meat into minced meat using a blender or meat grinder. For chopped cutlets, the flesh is cut as finely as possible. This will be easier to do if the meat is slightly frozen. To make the patties juicy and tasty, the meat should only be fresh or chilled.
Cutlets are prepared not only from minced meat, but also from fish or vegetable.
To prepare the cutlet mass, you need garlic, onions, white bread, eggs, spices and herbs.
Onions for cutlets can be taken onion, green or red. Bulbs are peeled and twisted in a meat grinder, or chopped into thin slices. The green onions are rinsed and chopped with thin rings.
Garlic is peeled and squeezed through a garlic squeezer, or chopped on the smallest grater.
Bread or rolls should be stale. It is soaked in milk or water, or rubbed into a crumb and added to the minced meat.
The cutlet mass can be done differently: put the minced meat in the blender's container, add the remaining ingredients and beat everything together until smooth.
Eggs are added to the minced meat, salted, seasoned with spices and aromatic herbs. In addition to the main ingredients, boiled or raw vegetables, mayonnaise or sour cream are added to it. For juiciness, a little water or broth is poured into the minced meat. All are thoroughly kneaded with hands, slightly beating on a bowl. It is advisable to place the cutlet mass in the refrigerator for a while.
Then, with wet hands, we form cutlets of the same size from the cutlet mass, and lay them on a baking sheet covered with parchment. In some recipes, cutlets are first fried over high heat until golden brown, and only after that they are baked in the oven for no more than half an hour. If the cutlets are raw, they are baked in the oven for about 15 minutes, and then continue to cook, adding broth, sauce or sour cream.
The cooking time of the cutlets depends on the composition of the meat, so you must strictly adhere to the recipe.
Cutlets are baked at 180-200 degrees. It is at this temperature that the cutlets are ideally baked inside, remaining juicy, and have a delicious crispy crust.
Cutlets can be baked in foil. They are especially juicy with cream or tomato sauce. In this case, it turns out a meat dish with gravy, which is ideal for any side dish.
