Pumpkin cutlets from pumpkin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pumpkin cutlets? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use any type of pumpkin to your taste, the main thing is that it is ripe and tasty. Take a large, selected egg, use the highest quality flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the pumpkin from peel and seeds. Grate the pulp on a medium or fine grater. The finer the pumpkin is grated, the more uniform the minced meat will be.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add salt to the pumpkin and stir. Leave for 10 minutes so that the pumpkin releases its juice. Then drain the juice and squeeze out the pulp slightly. The amount of juice directly depends on the variety and moisture content of the pumpkin. My pumpkin was not very wet, so it released very little juice. If you don’t squeeze the pumpkin at all, the minced meat may turn out watery and you will have to add more flour or semolina to it. Therefore, it is better not to flour the dough too much.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the egg and pepper to the pumpkin chips and stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add semolina and flour, mix thoroughly and leave the mixture for about 15 minutes so that the semolina swells.

6. STEP 6

   

   If after this time the minced meat is too liquid, add a little more semolina and flour and let stand. The finished mass should be moist, of medium density, not flowing.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the baking sheet with parchment and carefully grease the paper with olive oil so that the cutlets do not stick during baking. Form 6 round cutlets of the same size from the pumpkin mixture. Place pumpkin cutlets on it. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 190°C and bake the cutlets for about 30-35 minutes. Determine the exact time based on your oven.

8. STEP 8

   

   You don’t have to bake the cutlets, but fry them in a frying pan in vegetable oil. They will turn out slightly flattened, but just as juicy. Serve the cutlets hot with sour cream. Bon appetit!

I made pumpkin cutlets from pumpkin. To speed up the process, the peeled pumpkin was crushed using a blender. I added salt to the pumpkin mass, squeezed out the excess juice after ten minutes, added the egg, semolina, flour, black pepper and left for a while so that the semolina swells. The author allows the cutlets to be cooked not only in the oven, but also in a frying pan; I used this option. The cutlets were rolled in breadcrumbs and fried in vegetable oil. The cutlets hold their shape well, turn over easily, and turn out bright, tender and juicy. Served hot, with sour cream. Very tasty and aromatic! Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
