- egg 2 pcs.
- white bread 200 g.

Cooking process:
- First you need to purchase products, choose the meat especially carefully - the fillet must be without tendons, otherwise the meat grinder will have difficulty chopping it. For cutlets, you need to add a little water to the meat to increase juiciness.
- If you don’t want to finely chop the onion, use a blender. After this, you should lightly fry it until a golden hue appears, and only then mix it with the meat.
- Remove the bread crust and soak the pulp in milk. Add it to the meat, break the eggs there, then pepper and salt. Mix the mixture well until smooth. This completes the preparation of the minced meat.
- Many housewives have cutlets that fall apart when frying; to avoid this, you need to lightly beat the minced meat. Another option is to knead each cake well with wet hands.
- Now roll the cutlets in flour or breadcrumbs and place them in a frying pan.
- When buying frozen meat, do not rush to prepare the minced meat; wait until it melts.
- If the volume of minced meat turns out to be large, then you will probably put some of it aside for storage. In this case, do not add onion; it is better to mix it with the minced meat before preparing the dish.
- You should not mix all types of meat into one mince. Make it in different containers and be sure to store it separately. You can mix varieties only when preparing a dish.
- Before freezing minced meat, it is better to immediately divide it into portions so that the whole piece does not have to be constantly defrosted.

In addition, children love minced meat dishes, and this is another reason to prepare homemade minced meat yourself. And we will be happy to tell you how to do this!
Homemade minced meat can be prepared from beef, veal, pork, lamb, rabbit, chicken, turkey and fish. Minced poultry, rabbit and fish are dietary options that are excellent for baby and medical nutrition. The choice of meat should be approached with all responsibility, since delicious homemade minced meat will only come from a high-quality product. The most delicious is minced meat made from a combination of different types of meat. So, for example, minced beef or chicken itself turns out dry, so it is recommended to “flavor” these types of minced meat with pork. The most popular culinary mix is minced meat made from beef and pork in equal proportions. The ideal option is to mix beef shoulder or brisket with pork neck or shoulder. It is recommended to add lamb to other types of meat in small quantities due to its specific taste, and to use it in its pure form for preparing oriental dishes. To prepare minced beef, you should take a tenderloin, shoulder or brisket, for minced pork - a neck, shoulder or shoulder (pork must have layers of fat so that the minced meat is not dry), for minced lamb - a thigh and rump, for minced meat for chicken or turkey - breasts and legs, for minced rabbit - the front part of the carcass or hind legs. To prepare minced fish, you need to take fish without small bones and a pronounced fishy smell.
To make homemade minced meat, you will need a meat grinder, food processor or blender. Well-sharpened household appliance knives are the key to obtaining high-quality homemade minced meat. While a meat grinder is the most versatile option, a blender is not recommended for grinding stringy meats. If you are using frozen meat, it should gradually thaw on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Next, the pulp should be separated from the bones, if it is not fillet, remove the films and tendons and rinse the meat thoroughly under running water. When using chicken, remove the skin from the meat. Beef, pork and lamb should be ground together with fat, as it gives the minced meat softness and juiciness.
Remember: the more thoroughly you grind the meat, the more tender the minced meat will be. That is why it is recommended to pass the minced meat through a meat grinder twice. To make the minced meat fluffy and airy, you can re-grind it in a blender along with chopped ice or knead it thoroughly with your hands, enriching it with oxygen. Homemade minced beef or poultry often turns out a bit dry due to its low fat content, but there are simple techniques that can make such minced meat juicy. For example, you can add a small amount of water, vegetable oil, butter, milk, cream, sour cream, tomato juice or lard to dry minced meat. Beating it will also help make homemade minced meat juicy. To do this, place the minced meat in a plastic bag, tie it and beat it forcefully on the table until the juice appears. You can also beat the minced meat without a bag, throwing it on the table or in a bowl. The juiciness of the final dish in this case is guaranteed. Minced fish in most cases turns out to be lean, so it is recommended to add a little butter, heavy cream, lard or grated raw potatoes to it. Minced fish will also benefit from adding a little lemon or lime juice.
Onions can be added to minced meat raw or fried - it will also make the minced meat more juicy and tasty. For 1 kg of meat, it is customary to add 1-2 medium or large sized onions. Eggs in minced meat act as a binding component, so they need to be added if the minced meat will be shaped in the future, for example, when preparing cutlets, meatballs, sausages or rolls. You should not overdo it with eggs, as egg white can make the minced meat tough (two eggs per 1 kg of meat will be enough). Instead of eggs, you can also use grated cheese, grated raw potatoes or potato starch. Don’t forget about aromatic additives - spicy herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro), spices (black pepper, coriander, suneli hops, nutmeg, etc.) and garlic will give the minced meat a unique taste. Remember that components that affect the consistency of the minced meat are added during kneading, and components that affect the taste (salt and seasonings) at the end. Salt is added at the rate of about 1 teaspoon per 1 kg of minced meat.
When preparing cutlets, a little loaf of bread, previously soaked in water or milk (1:1 ratio), or semolina is usually added to the minced meat - this will make the cutlets softer and juicier. You can also mix meat with grated vegetables (cabbage, zucchini or carrots) - in this case you will get fluffy, juicy minced meat. It also happens that homemade minced meat turns out to be too juicy, and there is a lot of liquid in it. 2 Here breadcrumbs, flour or mashed boiled potatoes will come to your aid.
To save time, we advise you to prepare homemade minced meat in large quantities at once so that it can be frozen and used as needed. It should be noted that in this case, additional ingredients, such as onions, butter, cream, salt and spices, should be added to the minced meat before cooking, and never before freezing, as this can change the taste of the dish. Before freezing, it is better to divide the minced meat into portions (about 0.5 kg each), placing them in separate bags or containers, but fresh minced meat should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day before cooking. If you use homemade minced meat immediately after preparing it, we advise you to place it in the refrigerator for an hour or two so that it is evenly saturated with salt and spices.
Agree, homemade minced meat cannot be compared with store-bought! Thanks to modern household appliances, chopping meat takes only a few minutes, but dishes prepared from minced meat will delight you and your loved ones for a very long time. Next, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the options for preparing delicious homemade minced meat.
