Come on, confess, do you remember the taste of the food you were fed in kindergarten and school cafeteria? I think that many, like me, still have in their memory the aroma of those very freshly cooked cutlets that the children were happy to crush at the big break. Yes, I'll be honest, how many times I have not tried to repeat this seemingly simple dish, so many times I was upset with the final result - the cutlets were as far from that children's food as it is perhaps.
And, now, undergoing another unsuccessful attempt, I was already resigned to the fact that I would never know the recipe for school cutlets, as I saw the culinary revelations of one blogger who worked most of her life in dining room.
Naturally, I could not miss such an opportunity, so I immediately tried to translate her recipe into reality - and what do you think? Yes, these were the same cutlets that instantly carried me several decades ago. Generally, I share the secrets of cooking with you, because I simply cannot hide this delicacy from you.
For cutlets we need:
Minced meat (you can take any, but I do it with chicken) - 900 g,
Rye bread - 300 g,
Onions - 3 pcs.,
Milk - 1 glass, Garlic - 2 cloves,
Salt - 1⁄2 tsp l.,
Breadcrumbs.
The main difference in the preparation of these cutlets from the usual the fact that quite a lot of bread is added to them and they are baked in the oven. Actually, this is where the differences end and the standard cooking process begins.
To begin with, you need to cut off the entire crust from the bread, and soak the pulp in milk. As soon as the bread swells well, mix it with minced meat, and then add chopped onion, garlic and salt to the resulting mixture.
Now we begin to sculpt the patties, and then roll each of them in breadcrumbs and put on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. You need to bake them at a temperature of 200 degrees for about 50 minutes, but then be guided by your oven.
As a result, the cutlets are very juicy and tender., go well with potatoes and immediately beckon to the kitchen with their incredible aroma.
