How to Make Moroccan Patties With Minted Cucumber Salad
- Grate 1 medium zucchini and 1/2 small onion.
- Wrap grated zucchini and onion in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels; squeeze out excess moisture.
- Finely dice 1/2 red onion.
- Finely slice the remaining 1/2 small onion for the salad.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground meat (beef, lamb, or a mix), the grated zucchini and onion mixture, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup currants, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander. Mix until it resembles hamburger consistency.
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Using an egg ring (or your hands), form the mixture into 100-gram patties. Alternatively, make patties of your preferred size and shape.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil (optional) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cucumber (diced), the finely sliced 1/2 small onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/2 cup French vanilla yogurt, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander.
- Serve the Moroccan patties immediately with the minted cucumber salad. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
