- 3 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of semolina
- Salt, to taste

- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Prepare the Vegetables:
Grate the zucchini and place it in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and let it rest for 15 minutes to release excess moisture.
Grate the carrot and potatoes. Squeeze out the juice from all grated vegetables to remove as much moisture as possible.
Chop the spring onion and add it to the bowl with the grated vegetables.
Mix the Ingredients:
Grate the cheese and add it to the bowl.
Add 3 eggs to the vegetable mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add 4 tablespoons of semolina and mix everything well. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the moisture.
Shape and Cook the Cutlets:
Shape the mixture into small cutlets.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over low heat. Fry the cutlets under a lid for 8-10 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Remove the cooked cutlets and fry the second batch.
