Lean squash cutlets with rice

There are a lot of recipes for lean cutlets. But since August is a fruitful month, it makes sense to make zucchini cutlets.

Ingredients

• zucchini 1 pc.
• 1/3 cup rice
• 1/2 onion
• any greens to taste
• breadcrumbs
• frying oil
• salt, pepper to taste
• flour

Directions

1. The first step is to boil the rice. We need it cooled down. Grate the zucchini on a fine grater (I cleaned it beforehand, but the skin was already asking for it) and salt. Mix and let it stand, wait.
2. Finely chop the onion and herbs
3. In the meantime, chop the onion and herbs very finely.
4. Mix zucchini with rice, onions and herbs
5. As soon as the zucchini gives enough juice, we begin to act. Squeeze the grated zucchini very well. We will put it in a bowl right away. There are also rice, onions and herbs. Let's start kneading the minced meat. Now, at the expense of salt, we salted the zucchini, boiled rice in salted water, so we salt, taking into account all these circumstances.
6. We can say the minced meat is ready. But this needs to be assessed on your own. Sometimes you can already start molding the patties and breading them, and sometimes the minced meat simply refuses to keep its shape. At this moment, torment will save us. Carefully. Try adding and mixing one tablespoon first. A lot of flour in these cutlets is a bad idea. When we still managed to improve the situation with minced meat, we mold, bread and fry the cutlets in heated oil until golden brown. Bon Appetit!
