   Thoroughly rinse the grits and pour boiling water, leave for half an hour so that the grits swell well. We drain the water from the bowl with the cereal and squeeze it out, but you do not need to squeeze all the liquid from the oatmeal, it is necessary that the minced meat be moist.

   If the cutlets will be fried without breading, then the minced meat should be spread on the pan with a spoon. But in order for the cutlets to turn out beautiful and smooth, with a crispy brown crust, the cutlets can be rolled in flour or breadcrumbs. Moistened with cold water with our hands, we form a cutlet from the oatmeal mass, we roll them from all sides in breadcrumbs.

    Pour vegetable oil into the pan, heat it well, spread the cutlets on the preheated oil. Fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown for 3-4 minutes on each side, over medium heat.

    Then cover the pan with a lid and keep the cutlets on the fire for another 5 minutes so that they are well baked inside and become lush. We remove the cutlets from the pan, if it seems that they have absorbed a lot of oil, then we put them on a paper napkin so that the excess oil is absorbed into the paper. We transfer the cutlets to a serving dish and serve them to the table. Bon appetit!
