Description:

Herbed zucchini burgers are ideal for a quick snack or as a meal with salad.

Ingredients:

• 500g zucchini, trimmed
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
• 6 spring onions, finely sliced
• 2 organic eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons chopped mint
• 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• Olive oil for frying
• 1 cup Greek style yoghurt
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill

Method:

1. Coarsely grate zucchini and sprinkle generously with salt. Leave in a colander for 30 minutes. Rinse the zucchini and press to remove as much liquid as possible. Pat as dry as possible with kitchen paper. Put into a bowl and add breadcrumbs spring onions, eggs, mint, parsley, nutmeg and salt and pepper.
2. Form mixture into 18 plump burger patties. Heat a pan over a medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook the patties until crisp and golden – about 4 minutes each side.
