Zucchini cutlets with minced meat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make zucchini cutlets with minced meat? Minced meat for cutlets is best cooked by yourself. For the preparation of minced meat, you can use any kind of meat. I have pork and chicken. Cut the meat into pieces and pass through a meat grinder.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion, rinse it in cold, running water and pass it through a meat grinder after the meat.

3. Step 3:

   

   Combine the minced meat and onion in a spacious bowl so that it is convenient to mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Also chop the carrots in a meat grinder and add to the bowl to the minced meat.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash and peel the squash. If you use a young squash with a soft peel, then there is no need to clean it. Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add the grated zucchini to the minced meat, squeezing out the excess liquid. If the liquid is not squeezed out, then the minced meat will turn out to be liquid and it will be difficult to form cutlets. Add a little salt and spices to taste.

8. Step 7:

   

   Mix the minced meat with your hands until smooth. Beat it a little on the bottom of the bowl. This is necessary so that the minced meat becomes denser and does not fall apart when forming cutlets.

   Pour some breadcrumbs into a separate plate.

10. Step 9:

    

    Form small cutlets with your hands and roll them in breadcrumbs. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and lay out the cutlets. Fry them for a couple of minutes on medium heat until golden brown.

    Then turn the cutlets over and fry for another couple of minutes on the reverse side. Ready-made cutlets are served with a side dish of potatoes, for example. Or complement the dish with fresh or baked vegetables. Bon appetit!
