Pumpkin cutlets: light, cheap, 1 kg for only 5 euros!

To make the pumpkin cutlets you will need:

  • fresh pumpkin , 1.2 kg
  • grated cheese , 150 gr
  • eggs , 2
  • seed oil for frying , to taste
  • chopped parsley , to taste
  • sale, q.b.
  • breadcrumbs , to taste

First, take the pumpkin and remove the internal filaments, cut it to obtain very thick slices, at most 3-4 will have to come out .

Peel them and rinse them under running water.

Now, from each large peeled slice you get a unique shape, as regular as possible, like a cube. Slice the newly obtained piece thinly to obtain your basic cutlets.

In a separate dish, pour the breadcrumbs, the cheese and part of the chopped parsley. Mix the ingredients with your fingers.

Pour the two eggs into another small bowl , add the rest of the parsley and season with salt. Using a fork, beat the eggs and mix everything together.

Now take your slices one at a time and dip them in the egg breading you just created. So: first dip the slice in the egg , then cover it completely with breadcrumbs and cheese . Put as much pressure as possible on both sides of the slice so that it is completely covered in breading.

In a non-stick pan, pour some seed oil  for frying. When the latter is hot, pour them one by one and fry for a couple of minutes on each side. As they are cooked, they should be crunchy and well browned on the surface, place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper .

Serve your pumpkin cutlets piping hot! Enjoy your meal!
