Lamb, lamb dishes, recipes - lamb cutlets, baked lamb, stewed lamb

Lamb cutlets, as it turned out, are not the most popular dish. Serve people chicken breast cutlets, and make them juicy. Well, okay, not just chicken... But as long as there are connoisseurs of good cuisine and for those who know that there is a huge gap between catering cutlets (from establishments of almost any level) and homemade cutlets, I present this recipe for lamb cutlets. Real, juicy, tasty and chopped.

The most delicious cutlets start with good meat first. I want to show you how to make cutlets from scratch, starting with the choice of meat.

Cooking method

We buy the hind leg, or just the flesh from the hind leg. Although it is more convenient to work with a whole leg if you are doing it for the first time. Cut off the outer part (this is the one covered with fat). We don't need this part. It is good for manti, or pilaf (or for those dishes that cook slowly). Cutlets are fried quickly, and they require meat without connective tissue. Otherwise, the cutlet will come out tough and will not chew well despite your efforts to chop the minced meat. But tenderloin (loin) will not work either - there is another, more reasonable use for it.
In addition to the pulp from the hind leg, the peritoneum (only from a young lamb), shoulder blade and neck (again from lamb) are also excellent for minced cutlets. If you have kidney fat, then it also belongs in minced lamb cutlets.
Spread the pulp on the board in one layer with the fibers along the knife and... chop into thin slices. Then, when you have chopped the meat lengthwise, turn it 90 degrees and chop it across the grain.

Do you have a question, is it possible to cut? Yes, you can. But chopping is much faster.

What about the meat grinder? If you have several kilograms of meat and very little time, then you cannot do without a good meat grinder with sharp knives. And if you need to deliciously feed 4-5 people, then chop it with a knife and feel the difference.

Onion. Finely chop the onion with a knife. You can also put it in a food processor, but it’s not worth it for the sake of 1 onion. Place the onion in a bowl, add salt and rub with your hands to release the juice slightly. Add all the chopped meat and lard to the onion. Pepper and stir.

Do I need to sauté onions before adding them to the minced meat? If these are chicken cutlets, then of course you should. And lamb is the kind of meat that is decorated with onions. But this is my personal opinion and does not claim to be the absolute truth.

For me, cutlets without finely chopped greens are also unthinkable. Lamb goes great with mint, cilantro or oregano. You can also use parsley. I would recommend trying all of these separately and choosing the option that you like best. The greens are also finely chopped and added to the minced meat.
Soak a couple of pieces of bread in milk, squeeze out and knead well so that there are no lumps. We have cutlets, not lula kebab. Otherwise it would be possible to do without bread.
Add the bread to the cutlet mixture and mix the minced meat thoroughly. If the minced meat seems very thick, you can dilute it with 2-3 tablespoons of milk, in which the bread was soaked. Knead for at least five minutes, throwing a lump of minced meat on the bottom of the dish. You can knead the minced meat with a fork or even in a dough mixer with a dough spatula. What does kneading do? A monolithic mass that will not fall apart during frying and will retain juices inside. And our cutlet will come out juicy.
With wet hands, divide the mixture into 8-12 equal parts. Beat each cutlet a little more, forcefully throwing a portion into your hand from a height of 30-40 centimeters. During the beating process, the meat slightly changes its structure and your cutlets will not fall apart during turning and will retain their size when frying. Form cutlets.

Is it necessary to bread? It depends on your wishes. Well-kneaded minced meat does not require breading. The meat juices will remain inside. But if you want it, you can make it single-breaded by dredging the cutlets in flour.

Fry the formed cutlets in a frying pan on both sides until golden brown. Then place them in a small deep baking tray and cook in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Alternatively, you can not fry the cutlets, but simply bake them in the oven for about 40 minutes at 180 degrees. The exact time depends on the size of the cutlets themselves.

Juicy lamb cutlets are not as fatty as pork cutlets. When choosing, you should pay attention to the fat - it should be light, the smell - it should not be musty, and elasticity - the meat should be elastic. The younger the lamb was, the lighter its meat.

Selection of finished product
