Pumpkin cutlets from pumpkin

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make pumpkin patties? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Pumpkin can be used of any variety to 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 and seed the pumpkin. Grate the pulp on a medium or fine grater. The finer the pumpkin is grated, the more homogeneous the minced meat will turn out.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt to the pumpkin and mix. Leave for 10 minutes to let the pumpkin juice. Then drain the juice and squeeze 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 I let in quite a bit of juice. If you do not squeeze the pumpkin at all, then the minced meat may turn out to be runny and you will have to add more flour or semolina to it. Therefore, it is better not to hammer the dough with flour too much.

4. Step 4:

   

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

6. Step 5:

   

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

7. Step 6:

   

   If after this time the minced meat turns out to be too liquid, add a little more semolina and flour and let it stand. The finished mass should be moist, medium density, not fluid.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cover the baking sheet with parchment and thoroughly lubricate the paper with olive oil so that the cutlets do not stick during baking. From the pumpkin mass, form 6 rounded cutlets of the same size. Put the pumpkin patties on it. Place the baking tray in preheated to 190°Remove from the oven and bake the cutlets for about 30-35 minutes. Determine the exact time, focusing on your oven.

9. Step 8:

   

   You can not 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!
