Cutlets with leek
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you're using leek, use only the white part for the patties. This way, the patties will be of regular color. I, however, used young leek that hasn't fully turned white yet. It's very tender and barely changes color after boiling, giving the patties a slightly greenish tint, though this doesn't affect the taste at all. For a lighter version, bake the patties in the oven. Serve hot.
