How to make lean cutlets with meat flavor
In order to recreate the texture of meat, it is important to use the right base.
Legumes, such as beans, chickpeas or soybeans, are best suited for minced meat.
It is important to choose the right spices. It is best to use the same set that is added to meat dishes, for example, coriander, garlic, black pepper, parsley. Marjoram or nutmeg will add a spicy note.
And if you want to achieve maximum similarity between vegetable cutlets and meat ones, then add a bouillon cube to the minced meat when cooking. Such a simple technique will allow you to get an unusual and tasty dish at the end.
