Pork is a meat that contains a lot of fat and protein, so it is suitable for children who are engaged in active physical activity. Pork meat itself is quite heavy, but it is ideal for making meat cutlets. To make them healthier, make them in a steamer. This method will help you avoid using oil for frying.

Pork for kids - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute breadcrumbs for the soaked bread in this recipe?

Yes, you can use 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs instead of soaked bread for a similar texture. Adjust moisture by adding a tablespoon of milk if the mixture feels too dry.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian-friendly?

Replace pork mince with mashed chickpeas or lentils, and use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) instead of a regular egg for a plant-based version.

What's the best way to store leftover pork cutlets?

Store cooled cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Can I freeze these pork cutlets for later use?

Absolutely! Freeze cooked cutlets on a baking sheet first, then transfer to freezer bags. They'll keep for 2-3 months. Reheat in a steamer or oven.

What are some kid-friendly dipping sauces to serve with these cutlets?

Try mild yogurt-based dips, applesauce, or a simple ketchup-mayo mix. For extra nutrition, blend cooked carrots into the dipping sauce.

How can I make this recipe lower in carbs?

Replace potatoes with grated zucchini (squeezed dry) or mashed cauliflower. You may need to add an extra egg white for binding.

My kids don't like garlic - can I omit it?

Yes, simply leave out the garlic. For flavor, try adding a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or a small amount of grated cheese instead.

Can I cook these cutlets without a steamer?

Yes! Pan-fry in a bit of oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

How many cutlets does this recipe typically make?

The yield depends on size, but a standard recipe makes about 8 kid-sized cutlets (2-3 oz each). For adults, make 4-6 larger cutlets.

Total Reviews:

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
