Pumpkin cutlets in sesame coating are a refined dish with a velvety texture and the gentle sweetness of pumpkin, complemented by the nutty aroma of sesame. This recipe embodies the traditions of European cuisine, combining simplicity of preparation with sophisticated flavor. The cutlets are crispy on the outside thanks to a golden sesame crust but soft and tender inside. Honey or maple syrup adds a light sweetness, making them perfect for breakfast or a light dinner. Serve hot – this way they reveal all their charm, leaving a pleasant aftertaste with hints of autumn coziness. A great addition is sour cream or creamy sauce that highlights the dish's natural sweetness.
