Meat cutlets with pumpkin

50 minutes
Meat patties with pumpkin are a harmonious blend of juicy minced meat and the tenderness of pumpkin. This recipe is inspired by European cuisine, where traditional meat patties take on a new hue with the addition of vegetables. The pumpkin adds a light sweetness and softness to the patties, making them especially juicy. Using a mixture of pork and beef makes the dish rich, while the aroma of fresh onion adds zest. The breading creates an appetizing crispy crust, and frying followed by baking keeps the patties juicy inside. These patties are perfect for both family dinners and festive tables. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables and can also be a great filling for burgers. A cozy, homey dish with a warm autumn touch!
