Lean carrot cutlets stuffed with dried fruits and apples

Grate carrots on a fine grater, then transfer to a hot frying pan, pour two tablespoons.L. of water, pour semolina and simmer under the lid until ready on low heat. Then let the mass cool down.

If you are going to make carrot cutlets without filling, add salt to the mass. And immediately at this stage, form cutlets, roll them in breadcrumbs or flour and fry.

Preparing the filling:

Peeled apples are cut into small cubes. Fill the raisins with hot water and let them stand for ten minutes. After the water is drained, the raisins are dried.

Cut dried apricots into cubes.

Mix all the ingredients, add sugar and vanilla, then simmer in a frying pan with vegetable oil until the apples are soft.

Then we form carrot cutlets lean from balls, in the center of which a fruit filling is added. If you want simple carrot cutlets, do not add the filling inside. Just form cutlets from the carrot mass.

Each cutlet is rolled in flour and fried in vegetable oil. These are excellent carrot cutlets for children and not only!
