Chattbullar (meat cutlets)

Have you ever seen a person who wouldn't adore cutlets? I didn't have to. It is only necessary to put a dish with cutlets on the table, as it immediately empties. There are plenty of recipes for cooking cutlets, and any housewife knows perfectly well how to cook this food. But hardly anyone reading these lines has tried to cook it the way the Finns do! So let's try it together!
To cook chattbullar (meat cutlets), we will need minced meat. Of course, ideally it is more pleasant to cook it yourself. No, no, not the usual one. Our minced meat will consist of three types of meat – beef, veal and lamb. Although, in the conditions of current urban life, it will be much easier to buy ready-made minced meat in a store or a cookery.

So, if you take ready-made minced meat, it is better to buy mixed beef and pork for cooking our cutlets in Finnish, and add veal and lamb to this. For 6 servings of chattbullar, you will need about a kilogram of minced meat (as you have seen from the recipe, it is designed for about one serving). To all this, it would be good to add a piece of salsa – it will add juiciness, as well as onions and seasonings to taste.
So, shall we get started? All components – minced meat (beef, veal and lamb), as well as crumbs with egg yolks, sour cream and water – mix thoroughly. From the resulting mass, let's make small balls. And before that, we'll put a frying pan on the gas. When it is hot, put a little butter or sunflower oil on it (a little, because there is enough fat in the minced meat, which will simply drain during frying). After the fat is warmed up, we put the formed cutlets in it. Do not forget to shake the frying pan during frying. This should be done so that the chattbullar is fried more or less evenly.
And you need to fry, as you know, several times on both sides. Try to regulate the gas, and then you will be able to achieve not only the necessary degree of roasting of our delicious cutlets, but also a fried crust.
Have you already thought about what to serve to the chattbullar as a side dish? Of course, the ideal in this case will be a delicious fragrant, cooked in butter or cream, mashed potatoes! Your family will also enjoy this dish. and your guests!
