Summer is the season of vegetables, berries and fruits. This is the time when young zucchini appear on garden plots and on store shelves. How many delicious things can be made from this vegetable! I will tell you how to make delicious zucchini cutlets, which dishes from zucchinis can be cooked in the oven and how to make simple dishes from zucchinis in the pan.
Useful tip: zucchini for culinary purposes is better to use unripe, as their flesh is tender and tasty, and the seeds are not hard. Zucchinis are washed, cut off the stalk, peel the skin and rinse again. Cut into circles and slices for frying, cubes for ragout, cups for stuffing.
As a side note: Courgette dishes are particularly tasty and fragrant if you add garlic to them.

Grate zucchini on a coarse grater, salt and leave for 10 minutes. In this time we finely chop sweet pepper, herbs and garlic, and grate the cheese.
Squeeze the zucchini mass from excess juice. In zucchini add sweet bell pepper, herbs and garlic, cheese, eggs, oat flakes, spices and aromatic herbs. Leave the mass for 10 minutes, so that flakes become soft.
