Cutlets can be made from almost any meat, but it is the cooking technique that significantly affects their taste and quality. Most people wonder whether to cover the cutlets with a lid or cook them without one. Some cutlets don't need to be fried at all.
Today, FoodOboz editorial team shares a selection of ideas for cooking delicious cutlets in different ways from three Ukrainian food bloggers.
