My sister’s mom-in-law, Galina, shared this recipe for crammed kotlety with me. I attempted them at my sister’s residence, and they had been so flavorful; however, they had been lean and felt accurate in my pregnant belly. I knew I needed to recreate them. A few days later, those had been on my stove-top.
There’s a wonderful aspect in those that makes the beef juicier and healthier (zucchini!), and also you cannot even tell it is in there whilst you consume them! Sure, you may simply make simple kotlety without the stuffing; however, those are manner more fun and exciting!
I cherished Galina’s addition of buckwheat; however, in matter you do not have it on hand, you may simply double the mushroom/onion filling elements and make an easy mushroom filling. Thank you, Galina, for sharing this scrumptious recipe!
