Onion cutlets

Onion cutlets are a simple yet surprisingly delicious dish of European cuisine, where the main ingredient—onion—reveals its sweet and tender side. This recipe likely originated in the poorer classes when there was a need to make something nutritious from available ingredients. The cutlets are aromatic with a crispy crust, and their texture is soft and juicy due to stewing in sour cream sauce. The light sweetness of the onion harmonizes with carrots, creating a delicate flavor. The dish can be served as a standalone or as a side to meat. It pairs especially well with mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables. Onion cutlets are not just food but a true culinary surprise that can impress even discerning gourmets.
