Cutlets are a truly unique dish. No other meat dish can compare with it. And what is not added to the minced meat! You can experiment endlessly with them, which I do. I went this way and made pork cutlets with cottage cheese. The taste of the food turned out to be rather peculiar than that of traditional meat ones, while the presence of cottage cheese is not felt at all, and the consistency is much softer.
No special skill is required to make these juicy and delicious homemade patties. Each housewife will cope with their recipe, because the production technology remains the same as in the original recipe. And perhaps at first glance, such a combination of components will seem strange, but in fact, having once tried cutlets in this performance, hardly anyone will cook them differently. They turn out to be so tender and juicy that they just melt in your mouth!

Cooking meat cutlets with cottage cheese
1. If the pork is frozen, then defrost it first. Then wash, cut the film with veins and cut into pieces. Peel the onion, rinse and also cut. Pieces of meat and onions should be such that they fit into the neck of the meat grinder. Garlic, also peel.
If you do not like or cannot eat pork for health reasons, because this meat is quite fatty. Then you can replace it with any other more dietary one, for example, veal, chicken or rabbit.
2. Twist the meat and onion in a meat grinder, and pass the garlic through a press.
3. Add cottage cheese to the minced meat. It can be pre-rubbed through a sieve so that it becomes homogeneous and not felt in the cutlets, but you can leave it as it is, so that whole pieces come across in the cutlets.
4. Beat eggs into the minced meat, season with salt and ground pepper.
5. Stir the food well until smooth. It is better to do this with your hands, passing the minced meat through your fingers. You can also beat off the minced meat a little, pick it up, lift it up and forcefully throw it back into the bowl. This will release gluten, which will better hold the patties together, and they will not disintegrate in the pan.
6. Form patties in an oval or round shape. To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, periodically moisten your palms with cold water.
7. Heat a frying pan with oil and put the cutlets to be fried.
8. Fry them over medium heat until they are lightly blush and have a characteristic crust, then turn them over and cook for the same amount of time.
9. Serve ready cutlets hot with any side dish you want. It is very tasty to use them with garlic or tomato sauce.
