Zucchini Patties


3 medium zucchinis
4-5 garlic cloves
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
1 bunch of parsley
1 tbsp oil or 1 egg
flour
salt and pepper


Start by grating the zucchinis. We peeled 2 of them and let the skin on the third one. If you are planning on using egg to bring everything together it is best to drain the zucchinis well before mixing them with the other ingredients.

We decided to keep the dish vegetarian, so we used some vegetable oil instead. Add to the zucchinis the minced or grated garlic, breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, the oil and season it with salt and pepper.


Depending on how big your zucchinis are, how much you drained them you might need the add more breadcrumbs. You should have to be able to form some balls with the mixture, but it should still be sticky. Then flour the balls and pat them to get burgers or patties.

Then, fry them in oil on both sides until they turn golden-brown.


We served them with avocado and tomatoes salad, presented here.

Enjoy!


Avocado and Tomato Salad



Red onion + avocado slices + tomato slices + oil + lemon juice + salt + freshly grounded pepper

We love this salad, it is obvious it is super fresh and perfect for summer or spring, but also in the winter, avocado is a great substitute for cucumber, which I find not so tasty outside its season.
You can serve it with meat, but it is absolutely amazing with vegetarian dishes and especially veggie patties or burgers, essentially because the oils in the avocado makes the whole meal more filling.

Enjoy!

Fast Breakfast- Avocado Toast


This is not a recipe post, obviously avocado toast is the easiest thing to do, but it is so delicious and addictive that even if it needed more effort and time it would be worth it.

Lately, it has been the breakfast I think about when I wake up. What can I say? Avocado toast is the new bread and jam. Just toast some slices of your favourite bread.  Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and with a spoon betwen the skin and the pulp remove the skin. You can smash it and put it on the toast like a spread, you can cut it in slices or chunks. As you can see we chose both, chunky slices. :)

Drizzle some olive oil on top, some sea salt and some pepper optional. Depending on your taste , add some fresh lemon juice.


Have a great day!
