Prepare cutlets of an original and unusual shape. This is an easy way to please your loved ones. This dish causes a special delight in children, because such popsicle on a stick can be eaten without fear of catching a cold. Taking the idea as a basis, it is allowed to improvise with the composition of the cutlet mass. Use minced chicken, pork, beef, or a mixture of both. To thicken the cutlet mass, you can add a bun soaked in milk, oatmeal or semolina. To wrap the popsicle, take bacon, brisket or smoked lard, loosened into thin strips.
Cutlets can be steamed, in a slow cooker, in a frying pan or in the oven of your choice. When baking in the oven, use a non-stick mat or parchment paper. The amount of aromatic herbs and spices can be changed to taste. Grated onion or garlic can be added to minced meat. The dish can be served for a small family celebration or for dinner with mashed potatoes or rice.
