- Indicators of nutritional and energy value of a dish.
Cutlets have become the hallmark of Russian or Soviet cuisine. It just so happens that in our homes this dish is prepared very often. To make your cutlets a worthy decoration for the family table, follow our advice. Classics of the genre.
- Minced meat – 500 g (fairly fatty pork + beef 50/50 or lean pork, very good if the minced meat was not frozen)
- White bread – 125 g (you need to take yesterday’s bread or dried, then it will not stick together in large pieces, but will be evenly distributed in the minced meat)
- Egg – 1 piece
- Garlic – 2-3 cloves
- Onion – 1-2 pcs.
- Salt -1 tsp, pepper to taste
- Flour or breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Meat, garlic. Grind the onion in a meat grinder. If you take ready-made minced meat, then grate the onion on a coarse grater - it will be much more tender than chopped onions.
Soak the bread in water or milk, squeeze, but without fanaticism, and add to the meat.
Add egg, salt and spices.
Mix everything together until smooth.
And now for a culinary pirouette - with a deft movement of the hand, let’s plop our minced meat into a bowl or onto the table. We repeat several times - we knock out our minced meat. This will make it more magnificent, and all the components will come together.
Let's cut our minced meat into cutlets. The shape can be any you desire.
Breading can be done with breadcrumbs, flour or a special breading mixture. Or you can do it without breading, but for this it is advisable to have a frying pan with a non-stick coating in order to definitely avoid sticking and get an appetizing look.
Fry on both sides until golden brown. First, you should fry them over high heat until crusty, and then bring them to readiness over low heat or in the oven.
How long frying will take depends on the size and shape of the cutlets - flat and small ones will be ready faster than thick and large ones.
Poltava cutlets, along with Kiev cutlet, are the most famous cutlet brand in Ukraine. They come from the city of Poltava, and are very common not only in Ukraine, but also in the western part of Russia. Minced meat for cutlets is minced from beef, adding fresh lard and a lot of garlic. Poltava cutlets are similar to beefsteak, but differ from it in size (twice smaller) and shape (oval). Poltava cutlets are breaded in breadcrumbs before frying, and are usually served two pieces per person.
Ingredients
- beef – 500 g
- water – 50 ml
- pork fat – 50 g
- garlic – 1-2 cloves, to taste
- onion – 1/2 head
- salt - to taste
- ground black pepper - to taste
- breadcrumbs - for breading
- refined vegetable oil – for frying
- butter - 2 tablespoons, for serving
Cooking method (recipe)
Rinse the beef, mince it twice, adding garlic and onion if desired. Cut fresh pork lard (lard) into small cubes (up to 0.5 cm). Combine chopped beef with bacon, salt and pepper to taste. Add cold water for juiciness, mix thoroughly and for coherence, knock out the minced meat, forcefully throwing it from hand to hand or from hand to bowl. You should get a dense, homogeneous meat mass with uniform inclusions of bacon. Form cutlets. To do this, divide the minced meat into 10 parts, from which, also by beating them between the palms of your hands, form dense balls. Give the cutlets a standard oval-flattened shape with one thinned end and bread them in breadcrumbs. It’s good to heat a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and fry the cutlets, first on one side until golden brown, and then on the other. As a rule, frying on each side takes 10-12 minutes, but this depends on the selected heating intensity and the size of the cutlets. The readiness of the cutlets can be tested by making a deep puncture with the tip of a knife: the juice flowing from the cutlet should be absolutely transparent, without signs of blood. It is not recommended to steam the cutlets until cooked, covering the frying pan with a lid, as the breading will become soggy; if there is any doubt about their readiness, it is better to place them in the oven for a few minutes. On the break, the finished cutlets turn out to be juicy, with clearly visible inclusions of particles of melted bacon. Serve the cutlets hot, traditionally with fried potatoes. To make the cutlets look even more appetizing and the crust juicier, when serving, pour melted butter or fat and meat juice remaining in the pan after frying the cutlets on top.

The Poltava cutlet does not contain the usual “cutlet” ingredient for all of us - soaked bread or white crackers. Therefore, its taste is especially meaty and rich. This is delicious!
- Meat 200 grams
- Lard 100 grams
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Breadcrumbs 2 tbsp. spoons
- Salt 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground black pepper To taste
If you don’t have ready-made minced meat, then take a lean piece of meat (beef is ideal), wash it, dry it with paper towels and mince it several times. You can use a blender.
Take a small piece of fresh lard and cut it into very small pieces with a sharp knife. To make this easier, put the lard in the freezer for about twenty minutes, so it will freeze. Add chopped lard to the minced meat.
Peel the garlic and finely chop it. You can grate the cloves or simply pass them through a special press. Add prepared garlic to meat and lard.
Sprinkle all ingredients with salt and ground black pepper. It is better if it is freshly ground, then the dish will turn out even tastier and more aromatic. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. If the mass turns out to be too dry, add a little water.
Roll the resulting meat mass into balls. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Dip each ball on all sides in bread crumbs so that they stick well to the meat. Fry the cutlets over medium heat until golden brown.
