Pumpkin is a paradoxical vegetable. On the one hand, it’s the only thing they don’t cook with. Lunches, snacks, desserts, cereals, pies and cakes, juices, preparations - all culinary genres are subject to pumpkin. I know at least a few real fans and collectors of pumpkin recipes. They will serve you pumpkin-chocolate muffins with pumpkin ice cream if you refuse pumpkin puree soup, pumpkin cutlets or baked pumpkin-melon slices with honey.

On the other hand, not everyone loves pumpkin; there are not only indifferent, but also active haters. They say: a good product is not used on Halloween! They add: oh, it’s not for nothing that the carriage turns into a pumpkin when the magic ends! Pumpkin is an anti-food with an anti-taste! Hmmm, what an orange fate...

Today my post is for pumpkin lovers. We prepare pumpkin cutlets according to all the rules! Let's make them juicy, aromatic and super healthy! We will cook with the addition of potatoes and without eggs; We use oatmeal as a binding component, so feel free to take the recipe for a Lenten table. A mixture of Provençal herbs will add a special flavor to the cutlets. During cooking, the house will immediately be filled with their aroma.

Ingredients

• potatoes 3 pcs.
• pumpkin 300 g
• oat flour 1 cup.
• breadcrumbs 0.5 cup.
• onions 2-3 pcs.
• sunflower oil for frying
• mixture of Provencal herbs 0.5 tsp.
• salt 0.25 tsp.

How to cook pumpkin cutlets

1. I am preparing everything necessary. I always use sweet varieties of pumpkin. I cut off the skin and remove the seeds. I peel the potatoes and onions.
2. 
   I grate the pumpkin on a beet grater.
3. 
   I do the same with potatoes.
4. 
   Sprinkle with salt, stir and leave for 15 minutes. During this time, the vegetables will release a lot of juice, which must be drained, and the mixture itself must be squeezed out well with your hands.
5. 
   I add finely grated onions, add oatmeal and Provençal herbs.
6. 
   I mix everything well. It is necessary that the flour is distributed more or less evenly throughout the entire volume.
7. 
   I set the dough aside for 5-7 minutes, during which time the oatmeal will swell and stick the mixture together. With wet hands, I take about a tablespoon of pumpkin-potato mince and compact it well. I form cutlets of the desired shape, I like “pucks” better, but you can also make traditional ones. I roll the pieces in breadcrumbs.
8. 
   I place the pumpkin cutlets in a frying pan heated with sunflower oil. Fry over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
9. 
   I put it in a fireproof form and finish it in the oven at 180 degrees. within 20 minutes.
10. I serve immediately, adding fresh vegetables, herbs, or any sauce.

On a note:

• You can prepare oatmeal yourself by grinding oatmeal in a grinder;
• You need to squeeze the vegetables well, otherwise the cutlets will fall apart from the large amount of liquid.

I think it would be superfluous to write about the benefits of such a delicious vegetable as pumpkin.

The first pumpkin dish I tried was samsa with pumpkin. Amazingly tasty thing, I tell you! And from that day on it went: I tried to place pumpkins literally everywhere, I really wanted something new, original. Some dishes turned out well, others not so much. But what was especially sad was that I couldn’t make delicious pumpkin cutlets. And what didn’t I add to them! Some were more like pancakes, others were dull and a little dry, and others were simply not particularly tasty. And now I finally found my perfect recipe. I’ll tell you about it now.

Ingredients:

• piece of pumpkin – 500-600 g,
• one potato (about 200 g),
• egg – 1 pc.,
• small onion,
• garlic (large) – 3-4 cloves,
• oat flakes – 1 tbsp. with a mound,
• flour – 2-3 tbsp. l.,
• salt - to taste,
• seasoning for vegetables - to taste,
• other seasonings and spices - optional,
• vegetable oil - for frying cutlets.

How to make delicious pumpkin cutlets in a hurry

Peel the pumpkin and potatoes; for convenience, you can cut them into smaller pieces. Scrape out all the pulp from the pumpkin along with the seeds. Using a medium grater or blender with a suitable attachment, grind first the pumpkin, then the potatoes. Mix vegetables in one cup.

Next, add finely chopped onion and garlic passed through a garlic press into the cup. Their taste in cutlets will not be very noticeable, but the aroma of this mixture is simply amazing.

Beat the egg into the mixture, add salt and seasonings to taste. Mix everything well.

Next, measure out a glass of oatmeal and grind it into flour with a blender. The finer you can grind it, the better. Another important point: the flakes must be proven, tasty and not the largest. Cereals No. 2 (those that cook for about 10 minutes) are ideal. In addition, low-quality flakes can taste bitter, which will certainly affect the taste of the finished cutlets in a negative way.

Add the resulting oatmeal to the vegetable mixture. Add some flour there too. The correct cutlet mass is of medium thickness; it is better to add a little less flour than to overdo it.

When the minced meat is ready, let it stand for 5-10 minutes, after which we put a frying pan on the stove and heat the oil. With wet hands, form cutlets from minced vegetables. Don't worry if you think the cutlets are too flat - when frying, they will rise one and a half times.

Fry the cutlets on both sides over medium heat.

Be sure to close the lid, otherwise the cutlets will turn out flat and sticky.

Serve the cutlets with your favorite sauce and a cup of hot sweet tea. Amazingly delicious!
