Hello folks! Another week gone under the grey sky of London. Over the last few weeks only a dull diffuse light over a misty city in black and white has cheered up our mortal souls. Let’s not complain, though. There’s still a few good things that can make our days colorful. A compelling smile, a good movie, a project to work on, a soon to come (or to plan) trip, and food, food, food!

To counterbalance this faded atmosphere I bet on food as a source of color and spice. Colorful and healthy too, not too cheesy nor too fatty. Here’s my Zucchini patties, madame and monsieur, for a hearty breakfast or whenever you want to taste a yummy vegetarian option to burgers. I found out any recipe can be vibrant green if you have some zucchini on hand. And golden like the sun due to a pinch of turmeric. This is a good way to tackle with the lack of sunshine.

Print Recipe Zucchini Patties Ingredients 2 zucchini

1 egg

3 tbsp plain flour

1 tbsp plain yogurt

1 tsp turmeric

salt and pepper to taste

half chopped onion

olive oil to cook the patties Instructions Prepare the zucchini. One zucchini must be grated, the other one finely chopped so to get two consistencies.

In a bowl, combine the zucchini, egg, onion (chopped), flour, salt, pepper, turmeric and yogurt. Mix well all the ingredients, if needed add more flour to get a firm consistency.

In a skillet heat a small 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour zucchini mixture with a tablespoon, shape them in patties and cook each side for a few minutes until golden. Serve with fresh yogurt on top.
