In 2017, I already cooked Albanian cutlets, but from chicken fillet. I cooked them for the first time and I really liked them. This time I cook them from pork. Cutlets turn out to be as juicy as chicken.
I don't know where such an interesting name came from. There is no such recipe in the Albanian national cuisine. It is noteworthy that cutlets with the same composition are called French in different sources. Moreover, these names also apply to meat from chicken, pork and beef. But all these recipes are united by cutting meat into small cubes, as well as the composition and consistency of the cutlet mass.
You can serve such cutlets with any side dish, they are so versatile.
Pork for cutlets is better to choose fresh, without large layers of fat. I cooked from a tenderloin - it is perfect for this dish. It is convenient to cut it into cubes. But ham is also suitable.
If the pork is too tough, it is better to cut it into slices, beat it off with a hammer and then cut into cubes.

Extraordinarily juicy cutlets of finely chopped pork. They just melt in your mouth. And the smell when cooking is mind-blowing. This dish is suitable not only for everyday life, but also for a festive table. Very tasty! Let's go cook!

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 .

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 .

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here homemade mayonnaise recipes.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
