Steamed cutlets
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can make steamed cutlets using meat, poultry, rabbit, or offal. The key is to add a chicken egg to prevent the minced mixture from falling apart during cooking. Optionally, you can mix in grated carrots, onion, garlic, cabbage, bell pepper, etc. For extra juiciness and a delicate flavor, processed cheese is ideal—be sure to try making the cutlets with it. The finished dish can be served at the table.
