Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pumpkin cutlets? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use any type of pumpkin to your taste, as long as it is ripe and tasty. Take a large, selected egg, use the highest quality flour.

Step 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.

Step 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 lightly squeeze out the pulp. 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 runny and you will have to add more flour or semolina to it. Therefore, it is better not to flour the dough too much.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the egg and pepper to the pumpkin chips and stir.

Step 5

Step 5
Add semolina and flour, mix thoroughly and leave the mixture for about 15 minutes so that the semolina swells.

Step 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, medium density, not flowing.

Step 7

Step 7
Line a baking sheet with parchment and carefully grease the paper with olive oil to prevent the cutlets from sticking 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.

Step 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!
