Hearty and budget meatless cutlets: what seasonal vegetable to cook with

Zucchini cutlets are a great alternative to meat ones. They are low-fat and go well with a variety of side dishes. The products are very juicy and very budget-friendly.

The idea of making juicy zucchini patties was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Olha Holovina (olha.holovina). Be sure to add feta – it will be much tastier.

• zucchini/zucchini – 500 g
• feta – 200 g
• breadcrumbs – 100 g

• greens – to taste
• oil

Ingredients for the sauce:

• sour cream/yogurt
• cucumber (cut into strips)

Method of preparation:

1. Wash the zucchini; if the skin is thick, cut it off. Also, look at the zucchini. If there are large bones, remove them as well.

2. Grate on a fine grater and squeeze out excess moisture.

3. Add feta, finely chopped onion, chopped herbs, eggs, breadcrumbs, and spices to the zucchini.

4. Mix everything well and form cutlets.
