There is very little time left until the beginning of Great Lent for Orthodox Christians.
This is a time of spiritual cleansing, not starvation. So tormenting yourself with dreams of a cutlet for seven weeks is also not a good idea.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , cook, fourth-category baker, told how to cook carrot-rice cutlets. Not meat, of course, but also delicious.
You will need:
- carrots - 300 g;
- onion - 1 pc.;
- rice (round) - 100 g;
- water - 250 ml;
- garlic - 3 cloves;
