Tasty Zucchini Burgers: A Light Option

Zucchini burgers are a light, vegetarian alternative to traditional meat burgers. This dish combines flavor and simplicity, making it ideal for a light yet tasty option during summer meals. They are also an excellent choice for filling a sandwich for a picnic or for taking to work.

Ingredients

400 g zucchini

120 g stale bread

50 g grated cheese

1 clove of garlic

½ glass of milk

Breadcrumbs, as needed

Salt, to taste

Olive oil, as needed

Preparation

Start by thoroughly washing the zucchini and trimming off the ends.

Cut them into small cubes and cook them in a non-stick pan with extra-virgin olive oil and a whole clove of garlic.

Add a pinch of salt and let them cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

While the zucchini cool, soak the stale bread in the milk.

Squeeze out the excess milk from the bread and add it to the zucchini in a bowl.

Add the grated cheese and mix well.

Shape the mixture into patties using a burger mold or a glass.

Coat the patties in breadcrumbs and cook them over medium heat in a lightly oiled pan.

Halfway through cooking, turn the patties so they cook evenly on both sides.

Your delicious zucchini burgers are now ready to enjoy.
