Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry fluffy minced pork cutlets? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take pork with a small amount of lard added. Thanks to lard, the finished cutlets will be juicier. Peel the onion and rinse with cool water. Soak the loaf pieces in milk and leave to stand for a while so that they are well soaked.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the pork meat into pieces and pass through a meat grinder. Place the finished minced meat in a spacious bowl in which it will be convenient to knead the cutlet mass.

Step 3

Step 3
Following the meat, pass the peeled onion and pieces of loaf through a meat grinder. Just squeeze the loaf a little from the milk. Add everything to the minced meat.

Step 4

Step 4
Add egg, salt and spices to the minced meat. You can add any spices to your taste. Add semolina. Why add semolina to cutlets? This is necessary so that the semolina absorbs some of the moisture from the minced meat. And thanks to this, the finished cutlets will be fluffy. Before using, wash the egg in warm water and soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

Step 5

Step 5
Mix the whole mass well until smooth. Beat everything on the bottom of the bowl. How to do it? Use your hands to lift the cutlet mixture and drop it into the bowl. The minced meat will become denser and the cutlets will not fall apart when frying. Let the minced meat stand for 10-15 minutes so that the semolina begins to absorb moisture.

Step 6

Step 6
Use your hands to form small patties and coat them in breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and place the formed cutlets. Fry them on both sides over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Step 8

Step 8
Fry the cutlets until they become a delicious golden color.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the finished cutlets in a small saucepan to let them sit and cook. When serving, the cutlets can be supplemented with any side dish. But the best way to go with them, in my opinion, is mashed potatoes. Bon appetit!
