Kefir secret: How to transform your Sunday meat cutlets
Dreaming of delicious, juicy cutlets? Try a trick used by our grandmothers. Thanks to this, the meat will be exceptional, and guests will certainly ask what the secret to that deep flavour is.
The British love meat cutlets, a dish that has been on our tables for years, especially during Sunday dinners. However, even traditional recipes can be improved by adding one unconventional ingredient to make the cutlets much juicier.
Add 4 tablespoons of kefir
Adding kefir to minced meat helps retain the right moisture level in the cutlets during frying. This makes the meat more flexible, and the protein it contains better binds the ingredients.
About 100 grams of kefir for 200 grams of meat is enough to make a noticeable difference. The cutlets will be tastier, juicier, and less prone to drying out.
Mission - perfect cutlets
There are more ways to make tasty, juicy cutlets. These additions will make the dish irresistible.
Bread soaked in milk or water. This addition gives the cutlets a velvety texture. Adding this to minced meat will make it fluffier and softer. The bread must be well-drained to prevent the cutlets from falling apart in the pan.
Onion – finely chopped and sautéed. Adding onion enriches the flavour of the meat, but it's worth sautéing it lightly to a golden colour first. This process gives the cutlets a slightly sweet taste and enhances their juiciness.
Mustard. Although it may seem unusual, adding one tablespoon to minced meat adds depth of flavour to the cutlets. Mustard makes the meat more aromatic, and its acidity enhances the natural taste of the dish.
