How to make meatballs juicy
Now let’s figure out how to properly prepare fish cutlets so that they turn out tender and soft. In a normal situation, lard or butter is added, but in our case this is unacceptable.
- Much depends on the type of fish. For example, pike is quite dry, since its meat is dense. Whereas any white fish is much more tender, so you can give preference to these types.
- Minced meat becomes juicier when onions or bran soaked in skim milk are added to it.
- Steaming retains the original moisture, and the cutlets remain the same as they were in the semi-finished state. This is not the case at all in the oven, so during baking it is better to sprinkle them with water - about 50-70 ml on a baking sheet.
- The main nuance of preserving the juiciness of the finished product is beating, which can be done in two ways:
- When you form a cutlet, you need to not just press it to flatten it, but slam it several times with your palm on each side. But this method is convenient for three or four pieces.
- If the recipe is designed for 8-12 servings, or even more, then, of course, it is better to go the other way. When the minced meat is ready and infused, if the recipe required this, then it must be beaten all at once. Wet your palms and grab the entire cutlet mass in a bowl, but if you can’t do it at once, then divide the process into 2-3 parts. Lift it above the dish and throw it back with force. Do this procedure 8-10 times. You will see the result, or rather, feel it when you try the dish.
Advice : if you have prepared, for example, 10 servings of dietary fish cutlets, and they turned out to be dry, then these cutlets will only be tasty when hot (in the heat of the day). The situation can be corrected by extinguishing. Place them on a baking sheet, fill with skim milk to half thickness and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 180°C.
As you can see, all the recipes are quite simple, as they require very few ingredients. This is one of the features of dietary nutrition, but nevertheless, the finished cutlets always turn out very appetizing. At the same time, they bring undoubted health benefits.
