Pumpkin cutlets from pumpkin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pumpkin cutlets? Prepare the required ingredients. Wash the pumpkin, remove seeds and peel and cut into large pieces. Try not to leave green stripes under the peel; it is better to cut them off. I have a small pumpkin, not watery. If it's sweet, you don't have to add sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the peeled pumpkin on a coarse grater and squeeze out the juice. You can use the juice at your discretion, we won’t need it here.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat a frying pan and place the grated pumpkin on it. Pour in the cream and simmer everything for about five minutes over medium or low heat. I didn't add oil to the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add dry semolina to the pumpkin.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add some salt.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sugar and stir. Simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes. Leave to cool. To speed up the process, you can place the pan in a container of cold water. The mixture should cool down so that it does not burn your hands when forming the cutlets.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add egg yolks to the cooled pumpkin mixture and mix well. Then pour the breadcrumbs into one bowl and beat the egg whites into another. Beat the whites with a fork.

8. STEP 8

   

   Form cutlets and dip them first in egg whites, then roll in breadcrumbs. Place the resulting semi-finished products on a cutting board. Heat the frying pan now with vegetable oil. Place pumpkin cutlets on it.

9. STEP 9

   

   And fry them on both sides until cooked.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve the cutlets hot with sour cream. They are good for breakfast, dinner, or as a snack.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bon appetit!

Thanks for your feedback. It was my first time making cutlets from pumpkin. We usually make millet or rice porridge with pumpkin. I also read somewhere that they add pumpkin to the minced meat and make meat cutlets, but these without meat are vegetable cutlets. You can add carrots or an apple to these cutlets with pumpkin. You don’t have to roll it in breadcrumbs, but just fry it. With breadcrumbs the crust will be crispy, but without them they will just turn out soft, like pancakes. In general, let your imagination run wild.
