step-by-step recipe with photos Juicy and tasty meat cutlets without onions will be appreciated by children - they are the ones who don’t like the taste of such a vegetable in this dish! You can serve the cutlets with any side dish of boiled vegetables, cereals, pasta, etc., they can even be frozen in separate bags and heated in the microwave in 3-4 minutes when there is absolutely no free time to prepare a full breakfast, lunch or dinner. The minced meat used to create them can be pork, beef or a mixture, but remember that it is the beef that produces the foam flakes in the oil. Be sure to add a chicken egg to the minced meat - it will not allow it to crumble into pieces when frying. This egg can be replaced with three quail eggs if it is not available. The cutlets turn out juicy, appetizing, with a golden brown crust; they remain tasty both hot and cold.
Should there be cutlets without onions?
Most gourmets know that this is an important ingredient that gives any meat (and not only) dish juiciness and appetizing aroma. In their understanding, cutlets without onions are not very desirable and flavorful products. However, we know that those who simply hate this vegetable, especially when fried or boiled, would rather refuse many dishes rather than encounter an ingredient they do not want. Do they really have to live like this, refusing a huge assortment of meat products, which include cutlets so beloved by our people? We hasten to assure those who are desperate to taste aromatic and tender cutlets. Without onions, these products turn out no worse.
Does minced cutlet need an egg?
The egg tightens the meat; it is needed not for taste, but for binding. You can, for example, make veal or chicken cutlets like this. Pass the meat through a fine meat grinder, add sautéed onions and cream, beat the whites separately, add to this minced meat and beat in a blender. You can even mix it not with a blender, but with a spatula, so that the proteins do not lose the meaning of a separate introduction. When you fry cutlets from such minced meat, they turn out fluffy and tender, like a soufflé. But they don’t live long, it’s better to cook them and eat them right away, not leave them for tomorrow.
You need to beat the protein to the point that when you try to lift it with a fork, there will be nothing hanging from it. That's it, you can stop: if you continue whisking further, bubbles will appear, and this is no longer good.
The yolk has a denser structure - so if you add a whole beaten egg to the minced meat, it will add viscosity rather than fluffiness, and the cutlets will become denser.
What can you make cutlets from that do not contain onions?
Perhaps there are no serious restrictions here. Minced pork mixed with beef is a classic combination. This vegetable can be replaced by having some garlic. Black pepper in the composition will add flavor to the products. You can get tender and appetizing cutlets without onions if you use rabbit meat. In addition, this type of meat is dietary. If you steam them, you will have a ready-made healthy dish. Chopped poultry breast cutlets are a very simple and extremely tasty option. You can use both turkey breasts and familiar chicken parts. Many, of course, doubt whether the products will turn out juicy and soft, because breasts are a low-fat product and are by no means the most tender part of the bird.
How to cook
- Prepare minced meat: combine minced chicken with semolina and basil. Add salt. Mix. Cover with a lid and let stand for 15 minutes (so that the semolina absorbs excess moisture).
- Fry the cutlets: heat the oil (layer about 0.5 cm). Form patties with wet hands. Place them in hot oil and fry on both sides until lightly browned. Place the fried cutlets in a pan for stewing (pour vegetable oil onto the bottom (a layer of about 1 cm).
- When all the cutlets are fried, add water to the pan (1/3 level of the cutlets). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer under the lid (open slightly) until delicious odors appear. It took me about 25-30 minutes. Yours may take a little longer depending on the pan. Check occasionally to see if the water has boiled away and add a little if necessary. No need to stir.
These cutlets are delicious both hot and cold! You can eat them just like that, with a side dish, or with bread, like a sandwich!

Cooking technology
Prepare chicken parts (rinse, pat dry with paper towels). Grind the meat with a knife: cut it into small cubes. Place the prepared meat in a deep bowl or pan in which we will prepare our chopped minced meat for cutlets without onions.
Add raw eggs to the meat and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper. Add the sour cream product and mix the resulting minced chicken again.
Peel the garlic cloves from inedible elements and crush them using a press. If you are going to use dill, then it must be washed and chopped at this stage of preparation. Add the greens to the minced meat. Mix again.
We finish preparing the chopped minced meat: sift the flour into the minced meat and mix thoroughly with the flour. Now leave the semi-finished product for thirty minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel or suitable lid. During this time, the flour will release gluten, and when frying, our cutlets will retain a decent shape.
After thirty minutes, you can start frying the cutlets without onions.
Delicious dish with added mushrooms
You can prepare onion cutlets with any ingredients, but be sure to try the option with the addition of any mushrooms.
Cooking process:
- Chop the mushrooms, put them in a frying pan and fry. They can be removed from the heat when all the water has evaporated and a golden brown color has formed.
- Peel the onion, don’t forget to wash it and cut it into small squares.
- Mix it with mushrooms, beat in eggs, add flour and selected seasonings. Mix everything well and we can start frying.
- Heat a frying pan with oil and add cutlets with a large spoon. Bring to readiness, frying on both sides for 3-4 minutes.
How to properly fry chopped chicken cutlets
Heat a frying pan with a thick bottom and a non-stick coating on the stove. Add refined vegetable fat. Since the cutlet mixture is liquid, we will use a tablespoon to scoop up the minced meat and place it in the pan.
As soon as the oil is hot (you will hear a characteristic, subtle clicking sound), we begin the frying procedure. Take a tablespoon of minced meat and very carefully place it on a hot frying pan. We adjust the thickness of the products according to your preferences.
Cook the cutlets over moderate heat until the bottom side is golden brown. Now we turn them over on the other side and, covering them with a lid, cook for the same amount of time. As a result, one batch of cutlets cooks for a total of eight to ten minutes.
So, in half an hour you have got beautiful tender, aromatic, and most importantly, tasty cutlets. They can be served with any side dish, but can also be eaten as an independent dish.
Chicken cutlets in the oven, baked with cheese
This option is simply amazingly delicious, because it uses potatoes and processed cheese. Potatoes add softness, and cheese adds tenderness and creaminess, as well as juiciness to such aromatic cutlets. And the main thing is that this dish is baked directly in the oven, which means it is also healthy. Can you imagine how tempting it already sounds?
Try it, you'll definitely like it!
We will need:
- Chicken fillet – 1 kg g Potatoes – 2 pcs. Processed cheese – 2 packs of 80 g. Salt – to taste Ground pepper – to taste Chicken protein – 1-2 pcs. (for greasing cutlets) Spices - to your taste Dried herbs - to taste Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. (for greasing the pan) Breadcrumbs – if you like
Cooking method:
1. Chicken fillet needs to be chopped and beaten so that it turns into mush, approximately as shown in the figure. If you don't have a lot of time, just blend the fillet pieces in a blender.
2. It’s best to grate the processed cheese on a fine grater. Then add to the chicken mixture. Also quickly grate the peeled fresh potatoes and add them there.
Important! Instead of potato chips, you can take zucchini, for example in the summer, when it’s in season, with zucchini it will turn out even softer
3. Pepper, salt, add your favorite herbs and spices. I like to add ground coriander or curry.
4. Take a ceramic mold, I love these molds because nothing sticks to them and they are harmless to our health than those with a non-stick coating. Lubricate it with a silicone brush or regular refined vegetable oil over the entire surface.
5. Form with your hands or using a tablespoon of our chicken doves
