Eggplant cutlets
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Although many people don't like the taste of eggplants, I've always loved them and enjoyed cooking various dishes from these vegetables. I often made such eggplant cutlets at home; initially, I prepared them with vegetables only, but now I've decided to add a bit of minced meat. With this small addition, the simple eggplant cutlet recipe has become much better—the dish has a richer flavor and a firmer texture. Serve hot.
