If you decide to become a vegetarian or arrange yourself a fasting day without meat, then I advise you to make delicious broccoli vegetable cutlets. This dish is suitable for a menu of lacto-ovo-vegetarians and ovo-vegetarians, as it contains chicken eggs. Broccoli cutlets can be cooked all year round. From frozen cabbage, they are prepared even faster than from fresh ones, because the cabbage is usually blanched before freezing. Another feature of the recipe is the absence of wheat flour, the chops are cooked without gluten. A thickener in vegetable dough is oat bran - a dietary product rich in fiber, for which he is very fond of nutritionists.
Appetizing meatball cabbage cutlets, which contain a lot of healthy microelements, can boast of simple cooking and light taste. Quite often, especially among children and men, there are ardent haters of broccoli. I think that this recipe will reconcile them with an unloved vegetable.

Ingredients for broccoli cutlets:
- 300 g broccoli;

Method of cooking broccoli patties
Frozen or fresh broccoli disassembled into buds. Put on a steamer or in a colander. Cook for a couple for about 10 minutes - the cabbage should be soft.
By the way, you can make cauliflower patties using this recipe. Cooking time is the same.
Turned cabbage into a puree. With the help of a blender, you can achieve a uniform creamy consistency, but I like it when small pieces of cabbage come across in meatballs, so I use the usual potato mash.
To the cooled chopped cabbage, add fine salt to taste and break a large chicken egg. Mix the ingredients.
On fasting days, instead of eggs, add a few tablespoons of plain or soy milk to the mince. Milk protein can also glue ingredients.
Pour oat bran in a bowl, mix immediately. Oat bran has a good property - they absorb moisture like a sponge, but it takes some time (5-6 minutes).
We chop thin straws into the light portion of the stem of a leek. Squeeze about a tablespoon of lemon juice. Add the chopped onion and lemon juice in a bowl, carefully knead the stuffing. Leek can be replaced with green onions, but it is better to pre-fry the bulb to a transparent state.
Pour semolina on a plate. Use wet hands to make small round mince patties, roll them in semolina on both sides.
Heat refined vegetable oil for frying in a pan. Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then put everything together in a frying pan, make a small fire, cover with a lid and bring to readiness for another 5 minutes.
Serve broccoli cutlets to the table with sour cream or sauce. Cutlets are tender, soft, very tasty and healthy. Enjoy your meal!
