Minced meat cutlets with zucchini

How to make minced meat cutlets with zucchini?

1. Mix the pork and ground beef together in approximately equal proportions.

2. Peel the onion from the husk, rinse with running water and wipe dry with a paper towel. Next, put the onion on a cutting board and chop finely. Mix the onion with the minced meat. Chop the green onion and also mix it with the minced meat.

3. Also rinse and dry the parsley, spreading it on a towel. Then cut off the rough stems, and finely chop the greens. Also put the chopped parsley in a container with minced meat and onions and mix well.

4. Wash the zucchini and cut off the top skin from it. Then cut the squash in half and remove all the seeds if possible. If the zucchini is young and its seeds are small and soft, then they can not be pulled out. Next, grate the zucchini through a large or medium grater separately into a bowl. Zucchini is a watery vegetable. And so that the minced meat is not too liquid, then after it has been rubbed, it should be well wrung out with your hands. And after that, transfer the squeezed pulp into a container with minced meat.

5. It is necessary to thoroughly mix all the minced meat ingredients together. And then beat the resulting mixture well with your hands several times. This is necessary so that the cutlets do not fall apart and are dense.

6.Form cutlets of the same shape from the minced meat, having previously moistened your hands with cold water. So it will be much easier to sculpt cutlets.

7. Pour breadcrumbs into a plate and roll each cutlet in them from all sides.

8. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and put it on the stove. Heat the oil over medium heat and dip the formed cutlets into it. Fry them until golden brown for 3-4 minutes (the frying time depends on the size of the cutlets), and then turn over to the other side. Cover the pan with a lid and fry the cutlets until cooked over medium heat.

Transfer the finished cutlets from the frying pan to a plate covered with a paper towel so that excess oil is absorbed.

Serve these cutlets with any side dish immediately on the table.

Bon appetit!

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
