Mini Green Pea Halloumi Patties

Serves Array
  • 1 zucchini (320 g)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 5 dl / 2 cups thawed green peas
  • 10-15 mint leaves
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 stalks scallion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 150 g ( 5 oz) halloumi
  • 1,2 dl / 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • Neutral oil to cook in

Instructions

  1. In your food processor, select the rough side of your grater blade and run the zucchini through it. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with 3/4 tsp salt. Set aside.
  2. Remove the grater and add the knife blades instead. Mix the peas and mint to a rough paste.
  3. Change to grater blade again and roughly grate the halloumi. Then add the sliced scallion, rolled oats, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Whisk together the egg and corn starch until smooth, then add to the pea mixture.
  5. Lastly, squeeze the water out of the zucchini and add it as well. Stir to combine.
  6. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, set the oven to 200’C/390’F.
  7. Form the batter into small patties (about 2 tbsp each). Fry in neutral oil until browned on both sides (they might feel a bit loose but will set once the cheese melts). Transfer to a baking tray and roast for 10 min.
  8. Serve with greek yogurt flavored with lime zest, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!
