Veggie Burger | Zucchini and Broccoli Patty

Veggie Burger

Move over meat burgers for the ultimate veggie burger is here! The Zuccoli Burger is all you want in your burger and more.

It is very rare that a vegetarian dish is so well appreciated by my boys (do not even get me started on their carnivorous preferences) but this burger was such a welcome change. Loaded with zucchini and broccoli and flavored with delicious herbs, the patty can also be your vegan meal as a healthy side with daal and rice. You can make these zucchini and broccoli patties in advance and freeze them. They are perfect for the lunchbox too. Yes, the possibilities are limitless!

How To Get The Perfect Veggie Burger Patty

  1. The critical step in this recipe is steaming the broccoli. Over steaming makes it too soft and mushy and the final blended mix almost semi-solid. So, be careful not to over steam. Follow these steps to get it right.
  2. Bring water to boil and turn off the heat.
  3. Add a teaspoon of salt to the heated water.
  4. Now add your washed and cleaned broccoli florets to it.
  5. Let it sit in the water for 5-7 minutes before you drain it under cold running water. This latter part is important to halt the cooking process.
  6. Then pat dry the florets on a kitchen towel and blitz in a blender for just a few seconds to a coarse dry consistency.
