Steamed cutlets - useful tips and tricks
• No double boiler or slow cooker? You can cook healthy meatballs in a pressure cooker, colander, or set a suitable sieve on a pot of boiling water. But do not forget to cover the top of the vessel so as not to lose steam.
• Who said steam cutlets are boring? Try to put some stuffing inside. It can be a pickled mushroom or a cucumber, a slice of tomato, cheese, ham. Cutlets sprinkled on top with sesame seeds or mustard look charming. But so that they do not fall, you need to press them into the mass when sculpting.
• Use only dried bread for minced meat. Otherwise, after soaking, the pieces will become sticky and sticky, poorly disperse in the total mass, which will negatively affect the final dish.
• If you use low-fat mincemeat for cutlets, you can put a piece of butter inside. As it cooks, it will melt and make the dish more juicy.
