Cooking method

• First, I will explain how this dish appeared on my menu. My family does not like and do not eat boiled, steamed, stewed vegetables! They can only be raw, in a salad somewhere, and even then not all. So I have to dodge in order to somehow hide the vegetables and still try to feed my household with them. And I bake all sorts of vegetable waffles, and madelens, and pizzas on meat. Now zrazy! Peeping this recipe on the internet, as always, slightly altering it for myself, I got a very good version of vegetables with meat.
• So let's get started.
• 1. Prepare minced meat (you can also use ready-made). Scroll the meat, add cottage cheese and everything else, knead it properly.
• 2. Let's deal with eggplants.
• Advice: it is better to take the fruits small and even, it must be borne in mind that the size of the zraz (cutlets) will correspond to the size of the eggplant, but can you eat it if it is huge?
• Wash the vegetables and bake them any way you like. I put it in a baking sheet and put it in the oven.
• 
• 3. After baking, remove and peel, do not forget to remove the sepals, but leave the peduncle stick.
• 
• 4. Place cling film (or a bag) on ​​a table or board and spread the minced meat in a rectangle with wet hands, the long side of which is slightly longer than the eggplant.
• 
• 5. In the eggplant, make a deep cut along the length (like a pocket), but not through.
• 
• 6. Put a block of cheese in the pocket
• 
• Or you can grate cheese. This will not affect the taste.
• 
• 7. Using your hands and film moistened with water, form zrazy, giving them the shape of an eggplant, leaving the peduncle stick outside.
• 8. Transfer the prepared zrazy to a container (I have a deep baking sheet), brush with sour cream (yogurt) and send to bake in the oven. I cooked at the maximum temperature for about 30 minutes.
• 
• 9. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, remove, sprinkle with cheese and continue to bake.
• The cheese in the recipe is indicated in the total quantity, together with the weight per topping. It took 30 gr for the sprinkling, the rest was for the filling!

• 
• 10. Remove ready-made zrazy, serve on a plate and serve.

Note

The dish turned out to be simple, but interesting at the same time! At the same time, it is very low in calories and balanced. And in the version of almost lean minced meat and low-fat cottage cheese and cheese, it fits perfectly into all the canons of dietary nutrition.
I was pleased that my eaters ate it with a bang, despite the presence of whole eggplants there, although they never eat them in any form.

The only option to eat them is rolls with cottage cheese / cheese, nuts and garlic.

So this time the operation of veiling vegetables and an attempt to feed them with stewed vegetables can be called successful!

Guzel, I already understood from the photo that your recipe is!
Well done, such gorgeous zrazy turned out!

francevna, Allochka! Thanks for the recipe. And the zrazy, indeed, came out very successful.

What's wrong with the pictures?

What's wrong with the pictures?

Guzel, on the contrary, everything is as it should be.
Apparently I identify your recipes from the photo

Guzel, an interesting variation on the recipe for stuffed eggplant! I make almost the same stuffing, just the opposite. I start the boats and sprinkle with hard cheese on top. I did it with zucchini and eggplant.
It is interesting to try your version in the form of zraz. Eggplants still remain, but only large ones, the other day I picked up a trifle for caviar. Can large ones be baked and cut?

Well Guzel, well an entertainer! And when do you have time for everything?

[Guzel]

Guzel, you gobble up such an eggplant rash and nothing else is needed! Overeat and fell off

[nila]

nila, Nelya. So in the form of boats (and with buckles, and with zucchini) and I did my whole life! Just do not eat at me (like peppers with minced meat). The interior will be scooped out, and the vegetable will be left!
And in this recipe, after all, meat !!! and what's inside, when chewing, can no longer be disassembled!
You can do it with large ones, only you will have to eat in 2-3 times! You can't do it right away!
Tancha, Tanyush. When do I have time? Why should I keep up? I don’t work, I’m free all day ... 🤣

Guzelechka, thanks for the recipe!
Very interesting images turned out. I will definitely try.

I often read that cottage cheese is added to the minced meat. I often read, but I have never tried it, I don’t dare in any way.
In general, what does cottage cheese give minced meat? Splendor, juiciness?

Guzel, thanks again for the recipe!

Rituslya, Rita. Cottage cheese gives both juiciness and splendor, and also kind of softens (especially beef, the one that is faster. It is still very steep). The bread is put for the same purpose. But since I don't use much bread and to reduce calorie content, I put cottage cheese (or squeezed zucchini). The curd is not felt at all. Try it once on a small count. You might like it.
