We prepare it both for everyday food and prepare it for the winter. But the main thing is that it is delicious to eat zucchini caviar not only in its own form, but also to cook different dishes with it. For example, it is used to season pasta, grease pizza instead of tomato paste, make omelets and puddings with it, and much more. But today I propose to cook a surprisingly tasty dish - squash caviar pancakes with semolina. If you are a fan of squash pancakes, then you will definitely like this dish.
It turns out pancakes with semolina in a pan are very juicy, tender and satisfying. They are really much softer than the usual ones with the addition of flour, while they are not as soft as with flour. They are best served hot with sour cream, yogurt, sour cream and garlic or cheese sauce, or any other unsweetened sauce.

Step-by-step preparation of squash caviar pancakes with semolina:
1. Transfer the squash caviar to a mixing bowl and add the semolina. Instead of semolina, you can put oatmeal or bran, although flour is also suitable, this is already guided by your taste.
You can cook squash caviar yourself using one of the recipes published on the site. To do this, write the desired recipe name in the search line. Or buy ready-made squash caviar in the store, it is sold year-round.
2. Add raw eggs to the food and season with salt to taste. Since squash caviar is already salty and spicy, do not overdo it with the amount of salt. You can also add any spices and spices to your taste.
If you or your children are allergic to eggs, are vegetarian or fasting, or you just run out of eggs at home, replace them with an additional 2 tablespoons of semolina. Also, starch (potato or corn), oatmeal, and flaxseeds ground on a coffee grinder are considered a good binding element in dishes.
3. Stir the dough and leave it aside for 30 minutes to allow the semolina to swell and absorb all the moisture. Then the pancakes will stick well and will not creep in the pan. If it seems to you that the dough is too runny, add another spoonful of semolina and stir.
You can add a lot of chopped greens to such pancakes. If you like a sharper taste, put onion grated on a fine grater or chopped garlic, or ground pepper (black or red). Enrich the taste of the dish - grated hard cheese. Add grated raw young carrots to the dough for wonderful vegetable pancakes.
4. Pour vegetable or olive oil into a skillet and heat well. In principle, take any vegetable oil, the main thing is that it is refined. And for baby food, I recommend frying pancakes in a non-stick pan. The smallest amount of oil can be poured into such dishes, or you can do without it altogether.
5. Take a portion of the dough with a tablespoon and place it in a hot skillet to make round or oval pancakes. Heat medium heat and sauté the pancakes until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. For children, you can cover the pan with a lid and steam the pancakes for another 1-2 minutes.
7. Put the finished cakes on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Then serve the bright and beautiful zucchini caviar pancakes with semolina hot.
