Minced Chicken Cutlets

My mother-in-law used to cook these minced pork cutlets which were delicious but she never got the saltiness right. It was always too salty and we would be left feeling quote husband "thirsty for the rest of our lives".

I'm still ploughing through The Eurasian Cookbook by Mary Gomes and sure enough there is a Corned Beef Cutlets recipe. No, we're not a corned beef eating kind of family except for husband but then he eats everything. I substituted corned beef for minced chicken and hoped for the best!


What goes into the minced chicken - soy sauce, egg, soda biscuits, potato and ground black pepper


All nicely mixed


I pan fried using my WMF stainless steel frying pan and the cutlets turned out really nicely browned


And this is how we eat it. White rice, minced chicken cutlets and boiled unflavoured cabbage. No, I'm not being cruel. My kids love boiled cabbage. It's the truth.

Verdict:
My girl said she didn't care for the cutlets but she still ate quite a number of them.
My boy was pretty direct. He didn't like them and told me not to make them again.
I LOVE them. They were tasty and not too salty.
My husband tasted the cutlets 3 days later and complained they tasted old.

Postmortem:
My kids don't like minced meat. Accept it.
