Carrot Patties
Description
1. To prepare this dish, wash and peel the carrots, then grate them on a medium or fine grater. 2. Place the grated carrots in a saucepan and add water. Put on the stove and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for about 15–20 minutes, until the carrots become soft. 3. Without removing from the heat, gradually pour in semolina in a thin stream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. 4. Add salt and sugar to taste. The recipe for carrot cutlets does not specify exact amounts of salt and sugar. They can be made sweet and served with sour cream, or made saltier and served with a garlic sauce. 5. After 2–3 minutes of constant stirring, remove from heat and let cool thoroughly. 6. Once cooled, form the mixture into cutlets. Optionally, you may add chopped dried fruits or nuts, for example. 7. At home, roll the carrot cutlets in breadcrumbs or flour, then place them in a frying pan with heated oil. 8. Fry on both sides until golden brown and serve hot.
