Vegetable-topped cutlets are a hearty and aromatic dish from Russian cuisine that combines tender meat and juicy vegetables. Beef mince seasoned with spices and herbs creates a rich flavor, while baking under potatoes, onions, sweet peppers, and tomatoes makes the dish incredibly juicy. A special charm comes from the tomato paste sauce with garlic and cinnamon, adding a piquant depth of flavor. This casserole is an ideal option for a cozy family dinner; it warms and offers a rich bouquet of aromas. Served hot and garnished with fresh parsley for freshness and completeness.
