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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
