Chebureks from zucchini with minced meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chebureki from zucchini with minced meat? Prepare the necessary products according to the list. Wash the zucchini thoroughly with a brush. If the zucchini is young with delicate skin and small grains, then there is no need to peel it. If the zucchini is large, overripe, with a tough, hard skin and large seeds, then it needs to be peeled from both the skin and the seeds. I had a young zucchini.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the zucchini on a medium grater. You can use a coarse one, but for a more delicate consistency of pancakes, it is better to use a medium grater. Salt the zucchini, stir and leave for 5 minutes to release the juice. Then squeeze out excess moisture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the dill, shake off moisture and chop finely. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, cilantro, green onions, or use a mixture of different herbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine zucchini, dill and pressed garlic cloves.

5. STEP 5

   

   Separately, combine the eggs and milk and whisk until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the milk-egg mixture into the zucchini and stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the dough, add flour. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. The zucchini dough is ready.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now prepare the filling. I used minced pork and beef, but you can use any minced meat - separately from pork, beef, chicken or mixed.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fry for a couple of minutes until translucent.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add the minced meat and fry, breaking up any lumps, for 6-8 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    At the end, add salt and pepper to the filling. Transfer the minced meat to a plate.

13. STEP 13

    

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pour in some of the zucchini batter and form into a round pancake. Fry it for a couple of minutes on one side.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place some minced meat on one half of the pancake.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cover with the other half of the pancake, giving it a pasty shape. Press the edges of the pancake lightly so that they stick to each other. Fry the pancakes on both sides for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. The number of pasties depends on the diameter of your frying pan. The smaller the diameter, the more pasties you will get.

16. STEP 16

    

    Transfer the finished zucchini pasties with minced meat to a plate and serve. Bon appetit!

The recipe for zucchini chebureks with minced meat interested me primarily because of its originality. I would never have thought that pasties could be made from zucchini. But, as they say, live and learn. I fried the chebureks in a small frying pan with a diameter of 15 cm. I got eight pieces. My first two chebureks did not turn out very beautiful. The first one tore in the middle when I folded the zucchini pancake in half. Apparently, I didn’t bake it to the desired condition. The second cheburek didn’t work out because I overcooked the pancake

How adorable are these pasties!!! A tender, juicy vegetable dish with minced meat... An original version of preparing a zucchini pancake with minced meat inside! Super!!! I'll definitely try to make it like this. But I’ll try the second option for preparing the filling too, it seems to me that it won’t crumble so much if you put boiled meat with raw onions through a meat grinder, and in general, I would put everything through a meat grinder without grating, well, I like it so much. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Zucchini chebureks with minced meat are simply the best solution for me in the summer season! Everyone is already tired of stewed zucchini, and I don’t really want to eat pasties in the heat, even though our family loves them. And these lighter pasties are just a godsend. Thanks to the author!

This is so delicious!!! 😁 Now this is my favorite zucchini dish! Thanks for the recipe! And it’s very easy to prepare (I thought there would be problems with the pancake, but it never fell apart).
