Zucchini and cheese meat patties
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Cutlets are simple to make. Following this recipe, they turn out delicious and juicy. There's no need to add egg; the cutlets hold their shape perfectly without it and don't fall apart. You can coat the cutlets not only in breadcrumbs but also in dried panko or flour. Alternatively, you may skip coating altogether—either way, they will taste great. If your minced meat contains pork, as in my case, it makes sense to place the cutlets in the oven for about 10 minutes or in the microwave for 2–3 minutes after frying, to ensure thorough cooking. The dish is then ready to be served.

Place the ground meat into a bowl. I'm using a mixed meat: pork with chicken. Peel and wash the onion and zucchini. Pass these vegetables through a meat grinder. Soak the bread roll in cold water and squeeze out the excess water after a few minutes. Then grind it in the meat grinder as well.
