Summary

Ingredients

• Minced meat – 500 g
• Chicken egg – 1 pc.
• Bulb onions – 0.5 pcs.
• Walnuts (3-4 pcs.) – 3 pcs.
• Hard cheese – 20 g
• Bread crumbs – 200 g
• Salt (to taste) – 1 pinch
• Black pepper (to taste) – 1 pinch
• Vegetable oil (for deep fat) – 250 ml (or for a layer of 6-7 cm *)
• Butter – 10 g

Instructions

1. Grind nuts, 3-4 pinches of bread crumbs, onions, hard cheese and an egg with a blender (the egg can be added directly to the minced meat – if you wish). Mix everything well.
2. Add the resulting mixture to the minced meat. Salt and pepper. Mix everything well

   

3. Cover the container with minced meat with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
4. In the meantime, prepare the serving and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. This will make it faster and more convenient to roll small patties in breadcrumbs.
5. After 15-20 minutes, we take out the container with minced meat from the refrigerator. We grease our hands a little with vegetable oil and begin to form our cutlets.
6. For the experiment, I put small strips of hard cheese in some cutlets. But this is not necessary, since the minced meat already contains ground hard cheese, which will add additional juiciness to the cutlets.
7. We put a saucepan on the stove and pour a layer of vegetable oil 6-7 cm high into it.
8. Roll all the cutlets in bread crumbs.
9. Add a small piece of butter – this is needed to get a golden crust for our cutlets.

   

10. We fry several meat cutlets in boiling oil for about 3 minutes.
11. We take out cutlets on a plate using any spoon or ladle with holes. Meat cutlets “Fingers” are ready.
12. Serve the cutlets on the table and have fun with such small, juicy, neat cutlets!

    Good appetite!
