Vegetable balls from zucchini

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   I prepare the necessary ingredients for making vegetable meatballs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the zucchini, cut off the tails and grate on a coarse grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add salt to the zucchini and let it stand for 5-10 minutes so that it releases its juice. The juice then needs to be drained and the grated zucchini squeezed out.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add boiled rice and chicken egg to a bowl with squeezed zucchini.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add a little grated cheese (reserve some of the cheese for serving the finished dish), chopped onions and parsley. Add flour, spices and mix everything well.

6. STEP 6

   

   If the prepared mixture is liquid, you can add a spoonful of flour. I'll try the spices. If they are missing, I add them.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan. While the oil is heating up, take a tablespoon of the prepared mixture, form a ball and roll it in breadcrumbs, then shape it into a ball.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the meatballs in heated oil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Fry the zucchini balls in a frying pan on both sides until golden brown.

10. STEP 10

    

    I place the finished zucchini balls on a dish, serve them with sour cream, vegetables, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bon appetit!
