Preparing veggie burgers at home is really easy and those with zucchini fit all tastes
THE zucchini burger they are an easy and healthy second course that the whole family likes!
Here are three recipes of vegetarian burgers with zucchini and a recipe with fish.
Find out how to prepare them in a few minutes and with just a few ingredients:
Zucchini and legume burger
Blanch 200 g of zucchini and then mash them with a fork to remove some liquid.
Blend 300 g of cannellini or borlotti beans already cooked and mix everything with the zucchini.
You can add a egg to mix everything and a tablespoon of parmesan, salt and pepper.
If you prefer to make them vegan then don't add eggs and parmesan.
To work the mixture, the breadcrumbs must still be added, just enough to obtain soft and compact burgers.
You can cook them in a non-stick pan with a little oil, or in the oven at 200 ° for 20 minutes.
Tofu and zucchini burger
Blend a stick of tofu of 200 g with 200 g of zucchini cooked in a pan or in the oven with oil and onion.
Then add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a mix of herbs like parsley, basil and mint and breadcrumbs as required.
Salt and pepper to taste and compose the burger and then pass them again in the breadcrumbs or in the corn flour if you like them a little crunchy.
Bake them in the oven at 200 ° for 20 minutes or in a pan with a little oil.
Zucchini and potato burger
Blanch 200 g of zucchini and 200 g of potatoes and then mash everything very well with a fork.
You can also blend, but having the pieces of vegetables in the dough is better.
If you want to add a little more flavor, cook the zucchini in a pan with oil and onion instead of boiling them, while blanching the potatoes anyway.
Once the vegetables are ready and mashed, add a egg and the parmesan for a full version, or just breadcrumbs.
Season with salt and cook in a pan or oven.
Zucchini and cod burger
Zucchini burgers can also be made with fish, for example with salmon or cod. In this case we tried them with the latter, here is the procedure:
cook 200 g of sliced courgettes in a pan with half an onion and oil.
In the same pan, cook two clean cod fillets, adding a little water and a few drops of lemon juice.
Coarsely blend the fish and courgettes and then add an egg and the breadcrumbs as required.
Season with salt and, if you want, add some spices like parsley and marjoram.
Bake these burgers in the oven or pan.
We suggest you bread them well on the outside, perhaps brushing them first with milk and then passing them in breadcrumbs or panko to make them more crunchy.
