Moose cutlets with pork

8 servings

60 minutes

Moose and pork cutlets are a true embodiment of Russian hunting cuisine, combining the wildness of nature with homey comfort. The rich flavor of moose meat harmoniously complements the fattiness of pork, creating a tender, juicy texture. Rye bread soaked in milk adds softness to the cutlets, while garlic and black pepper add spiciness. Fried in olive oil until crispy, they become an ideal treat for both family lunches and festive gatherings. Served as a side dish is a salad of pickled cucumbers and onions dressed with fragrant sunflower oil and a drop of honey that highlights the depth of flavor. The dish reflects the traditions of Siberian and Russian hunters, conveying the atmosphere of forest expanses and evenings by the campfire.
