What kind of onion is better to add to minced meatballs: you didn't know about it
Very often, housewives grind onions together with minced meat in a meat grinder and immediately fry the cutlets. Is this right? Here's how experienced cooks recommend adding onions to minced meat. This was reported by SSPDaily.
What kind of onion - fried or raw - is better to add to minced meatballs?
Undoubtedly, onions add flavor to cutlets. Secondly, minced meat with raw onions does not spoil longer because onion juice is a preservative. In addition, raw onions will give the cutlets the necessary juiciness and softness.
But it is better to put fried onions in the minced meat. Because after frying, the onion loses its bitterness, and the cutlets will be softer. And if you fry the onions in balsamic vinegar beforehand and add them to the minced meat in a caramelized form, they will also be sweet.
The condition of the onion does not affect the pomp of the cutlets; it is important to beat the minced meat well.
Which is better - cutting onions into patties or grating them
Cooks say it depends on the minced meat used for the cutlets. If the meatballs are made from regular minced meat, it is better to use a grater to obtain a uniform texture.
If you are making cutlets from minced meat, chop the onion. You can cut it in different ways - some people cut it into cubes, some into strips, some chop it. If the onion is chopped coarsely, it takes longer to steam under the lid. Such cutlets will be juicy and flavorful.
