If you have previously used beets to prepare borscht, vinaigrette or herring under a fur coat, then we have good news: you are about to try a fundamentally new dish based on this healthy product - beetroot cutlets with a crispy crust.
Wash and boil the beets in salted water until tender. Peel it and grate it on a coarse grater.
Combine grated beets with cottage cheese and egg. Stir until smooth. Add flour, salt to the beet-curd mixture and mix again.
Form cutlets from the resulting mass and fry them in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil until crispy. Then cover the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until done.
