Professional chefs know that tasty and satisfying dishes can be prepared not only from steamed veal or pork, but also from inexpensive offal. Juicy cutlets made from chicken hearts are no less tasty than those made from fillets, and will cost the family budget just a penny, which is especially important a week before payday.

If you add a little chicken to the minced meat from this product, the meatballs will turn out more tender, and if you hold them under the lid, they will become soft as feathers.

What you need to cook hearty cutlets at home

• The heart muscle is the strongest in the body, including chicken, so if you simply fry heart cutlets until golden brown, they will remain tough. Stewing them in a saucepan on the stove or in the oven will help solve the problem. In both cases we use a lid.
• It is better to take broiler hearts - they are softer and only stew for half an hour. The by-product obtained from laying hens is tougher, and cutlets made from it will have to simmer over the fire for much longer.

• You can add chicken gizzards (navels) ground in a meat grinder to the cutlet base in a 1:1 ratio.

It is advisable, but not necessary, to put an egg in the minced meat, which further reduces the cost of the finished dish. Flour or starch will give a binding effect.

• Add onion and herbs if desired for flavoring.
• We choose spices to taste. In addition to black pepper (pepper mixture), nutmeg, ground coriander seeds, and basil will be relevant.
• You can simmer toasted meatballs in a small amount of water. Milk or tomato sauce is also a good option.

We transfer the semi-finished product into the blender container and grind it. Then add the egg, onion slices, flour and spices to the bowl. Sauté the mixture for another minute.

Classic recipe

Cutlets made according to the classic recipe are particularly tender. To prepare such a dish, you will need an indispensable kitchen assistant - a blender. It is thanks to this device that such a delicate and soft structure of the food is achieved.

Cooking Guide

The most are obtained from boiled offal. Therefore, first you should boil a sufficient amount of water (1.5-2 liters). When the liquid begins to bubble, add salt to taste. Rinse the offal thoroughly and place in boiling water. Cook for 30 minutes over moderate heat. Remove the finished product from the water and cool to room temperature.

Place the cooled hearts in a blender bowl and grind until pureed. Transfer the resulting minced meat into a convenient container. Add eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Add flour and mix thoroughly, achieving a homogeneous mass structure. The workpiece should have the consistency of minced cutlets. If the mixture seems runny, add a little more flour.

Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and place over medium heat. When the fat is sufficiently hot (this is indicated by a characteristic crackling sound), you can begin the final process - frying cutlets from chicken hearts. Pinch off small pieces of minced meat with wet hands, roll them into balls, flatten them into a flat cake and place them in a frying pan. Fry over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Place the finished products on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

Serve chicken cutlets hot or warm with any side dish. An excellent addition to a meat dish will be your favorite sauces: ketchup, mayonnaise, satsebeli, mustard, etc.
