Description

The recipe won't take much time. So what's the secret behind making these cutlets? It turns out that the original GOST recipe actually called for an increased amount of bread (up to 50% of the total mince volume), specifically grey or black bread, as well as the breadcrumbs of that era. That's when the result tasted exactly like those unforgettable flavors from childhood or youth. Remember it and prepare canteen-style cutlets in your own kitchen. Serve hot.
