A simple, tasty dish that can be whipped up in minutes. My teenage daughter wouldn't eat either halloumi or courgettes before trying these, but now she makes her own.

Method
step 1
Mix together the Turkish yoghurt, lime juice and zest. Season with salt, sugar and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.step 2
Squeeze as much of the moisture as you can out of the coarsely grated courgettes. You can just use your hands for this, but I prefer to use a clean tea towel. Fold the towel around the courgette to form a ball and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.step 3
Mix the courgettes, halloumi, egg, mint, and coriander together in a bowl.step 4
Shape the mix into burgers. There should be approx 8.step 5
Heat the oil in a frying pan, and fry the burgers on a medium heat until they are browned on each side (approx 4 mins on each side).step 6
Serve with sliced, toasted bread of your choice, the lime and yoghurt sauce, and rucola leaves.
