Cooking time: Not indicated

If you are trying to reduce the calorie content of ready-made dishes, but you can’t imagine your daily menu without meat cutlets and meatballs, then this recipe is just right for you. I will not only tell you how to cook veal cutlets, but also tell you what to add to make the cutlets juicy and soft.
So, minced meat is prepared from the healthiest meat - from young veal, which is considered a dietary product. To further reduce the calorie content, raw pumpkin is added to the minced meat, and it is taken almost in a one-to-one ratio - as much minced meat, almost as much pumpkin. You can’t feel it at all in the finished cutlets, but it is the pumpkin that gives the juiciness and appetizing bright color. Egg yolk is a high-calorie food and not everyone tolerates it well. Therefore, instead of a whole egg, only whipped protein is added to the minced cutlet. See also.
You can choose any method for preparing veal cutlets with pumpkin: bake in the oven on a baking sheet, fry in oil, steam. In the recipe, the cutlets are coated in breadcrumbs and fried in oil. Of course, this option is not the healthiest, but considering that we have already significantly reduced the calorie content, you can afford to cook it this way.

Ingredients:

- veal (pulp without bone) – 300 g;
- raw pumpkin – 200 g;
- onions – 1 pc.;
- salt - to taste;
- egg white – 1 pc.;
- bread – 1 slice;
- paprika, thyme or thyme, basil - half a teaspoon each;
- breadcrumbs or corn flour - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- refined vegetable oil – as much as needed for frying.

Recipe with photos step by step:

Let's prepare everything for the minced meat: peel the pumpkin, cut it into pieces (by the way, you can use frozen), cut the onion into quarters. Remove membranes from the meat and cut into medium-sized pieces.

We'll put everything through a meat grinder, alternating products to make it easier to push the minced meat through.

Beat the egg white with a fork until it forms a foam - this way it will mix faster with the crushed products.

Soak a slice of white bread in water, squeeze it out and pass it through a meat grinder after the meat. The bread will clean the screw and knife from any remaining minced meat, and will retain meat juice during frying. The cutlets will turn out tastier and juicier. Add the bread and whipped egg whites to the minced meat and mix.

Let's take non-spicy spices so as not to whet the appetite. Add ground paprika and thyme to the minced meat, add salt to taste and mix everything thoroughly. To get more viscous and homogeneous minced meat, it is recommended to beat the cutlet mass - place it in a bowl or on the table 15-20 times. After this, cover with film or cover with a lid and let stand for 5-10 minutes. These also turn out very tasty.

Before frying, form the minced meat into small round or oval cutlets.

As a breading, you can use crushed wheat or rye crackers, wheat or corn flour, or oatmeal. In the recipe, the cutlets are rolled in breadcrumbs - this is the most affordable type of breading and the cutlets come out with a crispy crust.

Heat enough oil in a frying pan. Place the cutlets at a distance so that the vegetable oil boils around each one and they brown evenly on all sides. Fire is medium. After about five minutes, a golden crust will appear on the bottom. The cutlets need to be turned over and cooked on the other side. If you don't have much time, you can cook.

You can serve minced veal cutlets, the recipe with photo with pumpkin, with any side dish, but since we have them almost dietary, the side dish will be light. We make sliced ​​fresh vegetables or a light salad and serve. Bon appetit!

For the recipe for making cutlets with photos, see below.

A tasty, satisfying and dietary dish - tender veal cutlets baked in the oven. Unlike beef, veal cutlets are more juicy and not at all harsh in taste.
