So, today I asked my wife what to do with the balance and she suggested we make some cutlets for tea. A great cook she may be but she's never tried this dish before and I had some knowledge on cutlet making (yes, yes, it's true). I used to watch my mom make potato and meat cutlets when I was young so I got the chance to bluff, urrmm, impart my cutlet making knowledge on my wife :)
To cut a long story short, check out the pictures below for a chronology of me being head chef ... LOL! Forgive the low resolution image quality, taken with my cell phone camera.
First the potatoes had to be peeled , boiled and mashed ...
The main ingredients being mixed ...
The final mix of the mashed potatoes and minced chicken, tomato bits, spring onions, shallots and shavings of Parmesan cheese mixed together ...
Shaping the cutlets before frying ...
The cutlets waiting patiently to be fried ... (take a number fellas ... LOL!)
The frying process which by this point you could just smell the mouth watering cheese infused cutlets :)
And finally the end product which we ended up sitting outside in our porch with a nice mug of coffee (I'm a coffee addict remember) and tea (my wife's a more refined tea drinker) and our special Parmesan infused cutlets :) Good to eat on its own or dipped in mayo, either way, it was damn bloody tasty!Only thing is, my wife left the clean up to me ... grooaaannnnn.

If they taste as good as they look, I bet they were delicious. I hate these food posts, they always make me hungry.

ReplyDeleteLord Manila Stone, I'm sure all the ingredients are available, it's nothing country specific, so I'm sure you'll be able to find it all ... :D

It's amazing. My mum makes something very similar to that. I've been eating it since time began.
ReplyDeleteBut I've been too lazy to ask mum.
Thanks to you, now I can make my own!
Yummmy!! Cleaning up is not so bad, Nick!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, look delicious! I was delighted that you take a turn at cooking up something special. Sorry about the clean up, comes with the territory, at least until the kids are big enough to draft!
