You can make many tasty and healthy dishes from pumpkin: first, second, third, and for dessert … For the first, cook colorful pumpkin cream soup, for a side dish - fried pumpkin pieces, bake pumpkin cookies for tea, and make healthy for an afternoon snack pumpkin juice. Pumpkin invariably transforms the taste of any food, adds a magnificent aroma and bright juicy color. Will not spoil the pumpkin and the taste of meat patties. Let's make sure of this!
Meat cutlets with pumpkin differ from ordinary cutlets in greater juiciness and tenderness, as well as hardly noticeable sweetness. This dish should not be confused with pumpkin cutlets, this recipe contains minced meat, and the cooking process is very different. Although I do not even know which category of recipes this dish belongs to, whether it be meat dishes, or vegetables, because pumpkin and meat in about equal proportions. Such cutlets are juicy, tasty and beautiful! Therefore, I sincerely recommend trying them. By the way, according to the same recipe in the summer season, you can put zucchini instead of pumpkin. But it is more watery, so it should be squeezed out first. You don't need to do the same with pumpkin!
