Ingredients:
Procedure:
Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 15 min
Serves: 10 - 15 cutlets
Ingredients:
- Broccoli - 1 crown (12 florets) - finely chopped
- Onion - 1 big sized - finely chopped
- Garlic - 3 or 4 pieces - chopped
- Oil - 1 tbsp
- Cheese - 1/4 cup
- Bread crumps - 1/4 cup
- Salt to taste
Procedure:
- Heat a pan with oil, add garlic and sauté it. Garlic gives lot of flavor when sauté in oil.
- Add onion to the pan, sauté until it becomes translucent. To this add
broccoli & salt for taste. Cook them until broccoli becomes tender.
- Remove from heat and add cheese and mix it up with the broccoli. So that cheese is equally spread around the broccoli and onion. Allow it to cool a little, segregate the mixture into small balls. Balls, need not be too tight, make it easy, cheese helps in making broccoli & onion stick to each other. Smaller the balls, more tempting to eat :-)
- Take bread crumbs in a plate, roll the broccoli ball over the bread crumb and make It flat like a cutlet pressing with fingers. Just use little energy while pressing.
- The purpose the bread crumbs is just to give a little crunchy feel, make sure too much crumbs are not covering the broccoli. Lets roast them in a pan, Heat the pan (No oil required) to a medium level. Keep the flame mild.
- When heat is medium, place the flattened broccoli cutlet in the pan,
just add couple drops of oil over the cutlet. (Oil can also be avoided,
if you are worried about the extra calories :-) ) Turn the cutlet, until it is evenly cooked on both the sides. The bread crumbs turn a little brownish. Remove the items from the pan and Hot Broccoli Cutlets are ready to serve.
