The recipe for zucchini cutlets is very simple. The cutlets turn out juicy, fresh and hot. In the season when there is an abundance of zucchini, food is very cheap. In winter, when zucchini is only on supermarket shelves - a reminder of summer. Well, if you don’t have zucchini, you can make wonderful cabbage cutlets or mushroom cutlets.

How are zucchini cutlets different from zucchini pancakes? Firstly, the cutlets contain cheese and herbs, and secondly, they are denser in consistency and must be eaten with a fork.

Recipe for making zucchini cutlets with cheese

  • Peel the zucchini. For this purpose, there are excellent knives specifically for peeling vegetables. I use them because contact with peeled zucchini leaves an unpleasant film on the skin of my hands, which is not easily washed off. Three zucchini on a coarse grater.
  • Add the onion, also grated. Even finely chopped onions will be felt in the soft consistency of the zucchini.
  • Add grated cheese. It is very interesting to taste not the usual hard cheese, but feta cheese or suluguni. This kind of cheese will also give a slight stickiness, but the taste will be different (for me, even more interesting). I grated the mozzarella. Although it is difficult to call cheese that is sold in polyethylene rather than in salted brine mozzarella, the label was “Mozzarella.”
  • We also add finely chopped parsley to the cutlets. This really refreshes the cutlets and makes them fluffy.
  • Our next ingredient is garlic. Either fine mode or squeeze through the garlic press. Break 2 eggs (this is for gluing the cutlet dough). A little ground allspice. Be sure to salt the cutlet dough.
  • And pour in 4 tablespoons of flour. It is impossible to guess the exact quantity. Zucchini of different sizes, different juiciness. Therefore, you need to look at the density of the dough. If 4 tablespoons are not enough, add more. The dough for zucchini cutlets should not be liquid. And mix everything well.
  • Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan. And spoon out the dough for the cutlets. Place the first batch on a well-heated frying pan. After frying on both sides, place in a separate pan.

Zucchini cutlets are ready. It is very good to serve them with sour cream sauce or Bechamel sauce.
