Let's turn again to a simple homemade dish that our grandmothers and mothers prepared, which we also prepare. Today there will be pork cutlets, the most delicious recipe in my opinion. Pork is the meat that produces juicy and soft cutlets on their own, so don’t overcomplicate them.
How to prepare minced pork for cutlets
Let's start with what cut - part of the carcass is best to take for making minced meat. It is believed that this is the neck, shoulder blade, loin.
To prepare the minced meat we will need:
pork pulp – 500g;
onions – 2 pcs;
Don't have a meat grinder or want more? Try to do
Pork cutlets with bread and breading
The first recipe will be in the classic version, with bread. Very often there is advice to take stale bread. In my opinion, it is absolutely meaningless in this situation. Look, when we cook, yes, stale bread is better for breading, but here we will soak it, so it makes no difference whether it is fresh or not. The second advice that makes no sense is to soak in milk. I don’t know a person who can tell in finished cutlets whether the bread was soaked in water or milk. So my advice is: don't waste milk, take water. As for the amount of bread, so that you don’t have to calculate the weight of your minced meat later, the principle is this: bread is 1/3 of the weight of the meat.
Ingredients:
- minced meat – 500g;
- white bread – 160g;
- water – 100ml;
- refined sunflower oil – 3 tbsp;
- breadcrumbs - 0.5 cups.
Cooking process:
This was the first most common and traditional recipe for delicious pork cutlets. Now the second one.
Pork cutlets without bread
And again, we will not invent a bicycle to prepare a delicious dinner for our loved ones. The difference between the second recipe and the first is not at all big. There will be no bread in them. Well, so that they also turn out juicy and tender, we will rub raw potatoes in them. This is usually how I cook at home. By the way, if you notice there are no eggs anywhere. They are simply not needed and make the minced meat tough.
Ingredients:
- minced pork – 500g;
- potatoes – 160g;
- salt and ground black pepper - to taste;
- sunflower oil – 3 tbsp.
How to cook pork cutlets:
So, in principle, we fried pork cutlets, even in two versions. If you have time and desire, you can prepare something between gravy and sauce for them.
Minced pork cutlets are justifiably considered the most juicy and nutritious. The meat itself is very soft and at the same time tastes well with a variety of available products. If there are no vegetarians in your family, then minced pork cutlets will definitely not last longer than one day in the refrigerator! They can be eaten with a side dish of cereals, rice, potatoes in all preparations, with stewed or fresh vegetables. For some, it is enough to add a few pieces of bread to the pork cutlets so as not to interrupt the taste of their favorite delicacy.
Caring housewives prepare minced pork cutlets themselves from start to finish. This means that the process begins with mincing the meat in a meat grinder or cutting it into very small pieces. At the same time, you can also add beef, chicken, turkey, etc. to the minced pork. This will only make the cutlets tastier!
When the minced meat is ready, various ingredients are added to it, which highlight the taste of the pork and add additional juiciness. This can be onions, potatoes and carrots, butter, herbs, sour cream or mayonnaise, mustard, hard cheese, etc.
If you make cutlets exclusively from minced pork, they will turn out tasty, but not filling enough. That is why meat ingredients are diluted with bread, breadcrumbs and various cereals. To make it easier to make cutlets from minced meat, add a little flour, starch and a couple of eggs.
Minced pork cutlets can be fried in a frying pan or baked in the oven. In this case, an additional sauce based on cream, sour cream or tomato paste is often used. All of these options are perfect for a family dinner.
Very simple minced pork cutlets that are amazingly juicy and tender. Bread, raw potatoes and mayonnaise allow you to achieve the desired consistency of the dish even without adding eggs. The specified quantity of products is enough for about 15 medium-sized cutlets, that is, just for one baking sheet. If the potatoes give a lot of juice, then it is better to squeeze them out before adding them to the minced meat - the cutlets have absolutely no need for excess liquid.
Ingredients:
- 500 g minced pork;
- 2 slices of white bread;
- 2 onions;
- 100 ml milk;
- 2 tbsp. l. mayonnaise;
- 2 potatoes;

To make the cutlets more fatty, you can add a couple more pieces of lard to the list of products. It is twisted in a meat grinder after the pork.
Delicious pork cutlets: step-by-step recipe
Having chosen the meat for the cutlets, it needs to be washed and freed from excess veins. And in order not to waste time while we deal with the meat, you can break or cut the bread into cubes and place it in a deep bowl.
Pour warm milk over the bread, but not hot. Leave for five minutes until the bread absorbs the liquid and becomes soft.
The prepared meat should be cut into small pieces so that they can be conveniently placed in the neck of the meat grinder. We also peel the onion and cut it into pieces. Peel the garlic.
Pass the pork pieces through a meat grinder.
Following the meat, put the onion and garlic into the meat grinder. You don’t have to put the onion through a meat grinder, but then it won’t give the juice needed for minced meat.
Following the already chopped ingredients, pour the softened bread into the meat grinder. If the bread has not absorbed all the milk, then simply pour the remaining milk into a bowl with the minced meat.
Add two eggs to the minced meat. Salt and add ground black pepper. If desired, you can also add ground red pepper or a mixture of various herbs for meat dishes to the minced meat. You can finely chop young green onions and add them to the minced meat. In this case, pork cutlets will also turn out very tasty.
Mix the minced meat well with your hands until smooth. If the finished minced meat seems rough and tough to you, you can pass it through the meat grinder again. Many housewives twist the minced pork three times, and only after that knead it well.
This recipe is very simple and is unlikely to interest experienced cooks. But for beginners who are going to cook cutlets for the first time, it will be a good find. To make the cutlets tasty, you need to consciously approach the choice of meat for preparing minced meat...

Of course, by buying ready-made minced meat right away, we will save precious time, but what about the quality? Therefore, it is better to spend an extra 30 minutes on homemade minced meat, so that later you can fully enjoy the taste of wonderful homemade cutlets.
So, cutlets are made from chicken, pork, beef, rabbit, etc. Many people prefer mixed minced meat from several types of meat at the same time. My favorite is pork cutlets. The best choice for minced pork is the loin (the ribless part), the neck, or the shoulder. Such meat will not be very fatty, it will have a little cartilage and veins.
Minced meat is made in two ways: the meat is finely chopped with a sharp knife or twisted through a meat grinder. For juiciness, it is customary to add onions and a little liquid to the minced meat: milk in which the bread was soaked, broth or a few cubes of crushed ice.
To prevent the cutlets from falling apart during frying, follow these tips:
1. knead the minced meat thoroughly and let it stand for about 10 minutes;
2. When forming cutlets, repeatedly throw them from palm to palm, beating each one. Wet your hands constantly with water;
3. You can add raw yolk to the minced meat. It will act as food glue.
The cutlets are fried in a frying pan, steamed or fried until crusty, and then stewed in sauce. Served with a side dish of porridge, pasta or potatoes.
1. To make minced meat, you need to wash the meat and rid it of unnecessary moisture with a paper towel. The meat should be cleaned of existing films and veins. If this is not done, you will have to constantly spin the meat grinder and remove them. After cutting the meat into pieces, grind using a meat grinder.
2. Cut the buns into cubes and pour warm milk over them. You can mix water with warm boiled water, maintaining a 1:1 ratio. Leave for 10 minutes. Knead the soaked buns with your hands until smooth and add to the meat. There is no need to squeeze out the liquid.
3. Peel the onions and garlic, wash and chop into small pieces or grind in a meat grinder. Grate the carrots onto the finest grater. Add everything to the minced meat, salt and pepper well. If desired, you can use your favorite seasonings and fresh chopped herbs for minced meat. Mix, cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator for a short time.
4. Knead the cooled minced meat thoroughly by hand. With wet and clean hands, take some of the minced meat, beat it, tossing it from hand to hand, and form a cutlet. You can roll the formed cutlets in breadcrumbs or flour to give them a more golden brown crust.
5. Heat a frying pan with oil, place the cutlets so that they do not touch each other. First you need to form a crust so that the juice does not leak out of the cutlets, so you should fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on both sides. Then reduce the heat and fry each side for another 6-7 minutes with the lid closed.
