Pozharsky Cutlet
Pozharsky cutlets are a classic Russian dish that gained popularity in the 19th century at the famous Pozharsky family restaurant. These delicately seasoned chicken patties are special because of the butter inside, which melts during cooking, providing extra juiciness and a rich flavor. The simplicity and elegance of the dish make it an ideal choice for both everyday dinners and festive occasions.
