Courgette Halloumi burgers🥒🧀
An actual party in the mouth.
I made a little spread of the burgers, sweet potato fries, roasted corn on the cob and a homemade sweet chilli dressing 😋
These burgers are perfect for preparing in advance! You can make the mixture and shove them in the fridge and just cook them when you’re ready.
Ingredients (makes 5)
1 large courgette
1 med-large carrot
1 block halloumi (the pack I used was 225g)
2 eggs
1 cup of breadcrumbs or flour (I used buckwheat flour - just choose a thickening ingredient that you prefer!)
Handful fresh coriander
Handful fresh mint
Handful fresh basil
Pink salt and pepper
•
Grate your courgette, and peel your carrot and grate it. Put them together in a big sieve and sprinkle with salt. Leave that to draw the water out whilst you do the rest.
Grate the halloumi, chop up the fresh herbs, and whisk the 2 eggs together.
You need to get as much liquid out of the courgette and carrot as possible! I just used my hands and squeezed the excess water out, you can use kitchen towel to press against it if you want.
Then literally mix all the ingredients together, stir in your flour/breadcrumbs. You can add any other flavourings your fancy!
Leave the patties in the fridge (uncovered) for at least 30 mins before you cook them (it’ll draw out a bit more of the water out and firm them up ready for frying😅 I pan fried them in some olive oil for around 10 mins. Serve with whatever you fancy! They’d also be great in a bun😍 Vegetarian dinner goals🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.
