Dinner - Minced meat (pork) cutlets / patties

Here's what I cooked for the 'boys' last night:

I took the above picture after my boys had already eaten half of them! I yelled and got up from my chair when I realised I hadn't taken a picture of my patties / cutlets! I had to stop them from eating more while I snapped the pic. Of course the two of them were shaking their heads in disapproval. Hubs asked me if I was too free. He wanted to know who the heck I was posting these pics for? (He knows I blog but he does not read my blog or any other blogs for that matter). I told him I had readers from all over the world and I really didn't know WHO was actually reading my blog. It's therapeutic for me to write and if it helps someone to read what I wrote or if it served as entertainment, I was happy to do it.

So anyway, my humble minced pork cutlets. Sooooo easy to make and according to the boys, very yummy. Unfortunately, the girl had already returned to uni hall to stay for the week and had missed this meal. I'll make sure to cook it for them again this weekend when she's back.

I used 2 packets of frozen pre-minced pork. Thawed it overnight in the regular fridge (not freezer) and added in 2 eggs, chopped onions, chopped chillies, pepper, salt, cumin, coriander and paprika powder. Mixed well then rolled them into balls. I couldn't quite flatten them because the pork was a tad too wet (I hadn't drained it well when I removed it from the fridge). So you see my cutlets looking a bit like balls but it didn't affect the taste so who cares.

Son as usual, gave me his interrogation :
Son: "Wah, Mom! Whatever this is, it's delicious! But why must you add cut chilli!"

Hubs: "But it's nice what! Ignore him"

Son: "And onions! Make without onions next time and it'll be perfect!"

Hubs: "No, it's nice what! Just do it like that."

Haha....I told you, it's hard to please this family.
