Step 1:
How to make juicy cutlets from chopped meat? Prepare all the ingredients for cooking chopped pork cutlets. To make the cutlets more juicy, it is better to choose fatty pork: shoulder blade or ham. Carbonade or pork tenderloin for juicy cutlets will not work.
Step 2:
Rinse pork under running water, dry with paper towels, remove excess fat, cartilage, films, and so on, then chop the prepared meat with a sharp knife into very small cubes.
Step 3:
Put the chopped meat in a deep bowl, add salt and spices: pepper, nutmeg and coriander.
Step 4:
Then add mayonnaise, mix thoroughly and put the minced meat in the refrigerator for several hours (from 4 hours to a day). Thus, the taste of chopped cutlets will become even more intense.
Step 5:
Before frying chopped cutlets, beat chicken eggs into minced meat and add flour, mix thoroughly. These ingredients (eggs and flour) will give a bundle for future cutlets.
Step 6:
Pour vegetable oil into the pan and let it warm up. Place a pastry ring on the bottom of a hot frying pan, put the prepared minced meat in the ring, smooth it out and remove the ring. So form the rest of the cutlets. This method will allow you to achieve neat round cutlets. You can also spread the minced meat with a regular tablespoon, slightly flattening them on top with the same spoon.
Step 7:
Fry the chopped cutlets on medium heat on both sides until a golden crust forms.

Due to the fact that the meat is not ground in a meat grinder, but is ground manually with a very sharp knife, the taste and consistency of such cutlets turns out to be extraordinary!
In this recipe, mayonnaise gives tenderness to these cutlets. However, if you stick to proper nutrition, mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream or a similar sauce.
If desired, you can add one very finely chopped onion, but I like cutlets more without adding onions.
From this amount of ingredients, 14 cutlets turned out.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

In addition to pork, any other meat can be used in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. For example, beef is cooked longer than pork, and chicken fillet or turkey is less.
