Courgette Patties

I had courgettes in the refrigerator and wanted to be creative in using them. I have decided to prepare this dish with all that is in my refrigerator!

So lets see what I have in veggies: 
Courgettes
Carrots
Frozen peas and spinach
Potatoes 

So what do you think we should be making????

How about making Patties! :-) 

Here is how I went on making my own recipe: 

Boiled Potatoes-peas-spinach 
Grated courgettes and carrots
Added 2 slice of low fat cheese for smooth, creamy texture

Mashed all the veggies and cheese together. Added spices: Red chilly powder and salt. 

Shaped the mixture into round balls, flattened them and coated with bread crumbs (Made breadcrumbs from toasted bread).
Heated a non stick pan, added oil and pan fried the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
 Served them hot with fresh lettuce and home made yoghurt coleslaw.

They were perfectly crisp and tender.  Healthy and full of flavour, very much similar to crab cakes but without the meat in it! 

A good veggie main that can help you use all the left over vegetables. So what are you waiting for....Get grating those veggies!
