Pancakes from zucchini with minced meat in a pan

Rinse the zucchini thoroughly, rub with a brush. If the zucchini is large, overripe, with a tough, hard skin and large seeds, then it must be peeled from both the skin and the seeds. Coarsely grate the zucchini, salt and leave for 10 minutes, then squeeze and drain the juice that has stood out.

In a bowl, combine grated zucchini, eggs, baking powder and ground pepper. Mix everything.

Pour the sifted flour into the squash mass and mix thoroughly. You may need more or less flour. Look at the consistency. The dough should be sticky but runny.

Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. If you don't like onions, you can leave them out altogether.

In a bowl, combine minced meat, onion, water, salt and pepper. Thoroughly knead the minced meat with your hands until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Spoon the squash batter into the pan and flatten into a thin, even circle. Put a little minced meat in the center of the dough and smooth it out.

Put some more zucchini dough on top of the stuffing. Fry the pancakes under the lid on both sides until golden brown and minced meat is ready.

Transfer the prepared zucchini pancakes with minced chicken to a plate and serve. Bon appetit!
