Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cutlets in sour cream sauce in the oven? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose minced meat according to your taste. It can be minced meat from a certain type of meat, for example, only pork or beef (like mine) or mixed.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the crusts off a slice of white bread, pour milk over the crumb and leave to swell.

3. STEP 3

   

   Finely chop the dill.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine the minced meat, an egg, a slice of bread squeezed out of the milk, garlic, dill, salt and pepper. If you wish, you can add a pre-chopped and finely chopped small onion, fresh or fried in a frying pan, to the minced meat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Stir the minced meat until smooth. If the minced meat turns out too runny, add 1-2 tbsp. l. semolina, mix and leave for 15 minutes for the cereal to swell. The semolina will absorb excess moisture and the minced meat will become more viscous.

6. STEP 6

   

   With wet hands, form the minced meat into small round patties.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown. During the frying process, turn the cutlets over to the other side. If you don’t want to waste time on frying or you need a more dietary option, you can put them in a mold raw, pour in the sauce and bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes. Read how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the cutlets are frying, prepare the sauce. You can use any broth: chicken, meat or vegetable. If you don't have broth, you can replace it with plain water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Dilute starch in 50 ml of cold meat broth so that there are no lumps.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour the broth with starch into the sour cream and stir well.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour in the remaining meat broth, add salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

12. STEP 12

    

    My sauce turned out to be quite liquid, but when baked it will become much thicker thanks to the starch. You can adjust the amount of sauce to suit your tastes. If you want the cutlets to be completely covered with sauce, make 1.5 times more. I wanted the sauce to reach about halfway through the cutlets.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the meat cutlets in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour sour cream sauce into the mold. Place the cutlets in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Depending on the size of the cutlets and the features of your oven, more or less time may be needed. Read about the operating features of ovens in the article at the end of the recipe. The cutlets in the oven with sour cream sauce are ready. Bon appetit!

We love meat cutlets. I think baked ones are healthier, so this time I made cutlets in sour cream sauce in the oven. Moreover, my children respect “white” sauces and gravies more. I made the minced meat myself from fresh pork. In addition to garlic, I added an onion for more juiciness and taste. White bread was soaked in 10% cream. I diluted the sour cream by 1/3 with the same cream. I didn’t fry the cutlets, I immediately put them in the pan. The sauce was diluted with chicken broth. I added curry, a pinch of turmeric and ground vegetables to it. It turned out fragrant). I baked the cutlets in sour cream sauce for exactly an hour. During this time, the sauce boiled down and thickened, and the tops of the cutlets browned. The cutlets turned out to be very juicy, soft, tender, but at the same time a little spicy, with a hint of spice. The creamy taste gives them a special twist! I recommend!
