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.
Ingredients
Halloumi and courgette burgers.
- 600g courgettes, coarsely grated
- 150g Halloumi cheese, coarsely grated
- 1 egg
- small bunch of coriander, chopped
- small bunch of mint, chopped
- Olive oil for frying
- Sliced, toasted bread of your choice. I use ciabatta.
Lime and yoghurt sauce.
- 600g courgettes, coarsely grated
- 150g Halloumi cheese, coarsely grated
- 1 egg
- small bunch of coriander, chopped
- small bunch of mint, chopped
- Olive oil for frying
- Sliced, toasted bread of your choice. I use ciabatta.
- 1 dl Turkish yoghurt
- 1/2 lime, zest and juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sugar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Rucola leaves, cleaned
Method
- STEP 1Mix together the Turkish yoghurt, lime juice and zest. Season with salt, sugar and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
- STEP 2Squeeze 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 3Mix the courgettes, halloumi, egg, mint, and coriander together in a bowl.
- STEP 4Shape the mix into burgers. There should be approx 8.
- STEP 5Heat 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 6Serve with sliced, toasted bread of your choice, the lime and yoghurt sauce, and rucola leaves.
