Bitochki in sour cream is a traditional Russian dish that combines the tenderness of minced meat and the softness of sour cream sauce. These small cutlets, fried to a golden crust and simmered in sour cream, acquire amazing juiciness and a delicate creamy flavor. Historically, such dishes were prepared in Russian families as everyday treats, and their simplicity and accessibility made bitochki a beloved home-cooked meal. They pair wonderfully with side dishes, whether it's mashed potatoes or buckwheat porridge, and added herbs provide freshness and aroma. Bitochki are convenient to serve and suitable for both family dinners and festive gatherings, offering comfort and rich taste sensations.
