Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a bowl and blend them with an immersion blender.
- 2
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and grate them using a coarse grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and squeeze them well with your hands. Add the zucchini to the chickpea puree, mix in the Parmesan cheese and salt, and knead the mixture well.

In a separate container, prepare the breadcrumbs. With your hands, form the chickpea and zucchini patties, add a cube of provolone cheese in the center for a gooey effect, and roll them in the breadcrumbs. As you prepare them, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and cook the chickpea and zucchini patties in an air fryer or convection oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes.

You can substitute the zucchini with spinach or mashed boiled potatoes. Feel free to add spices like oregano, thyme, or black pepper. You can also add herbs like basil or parsley to the mixture. You can fry the chickpea patties in a pan, but add 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the mixture. And voilà, given the heat, I let them cool down. They're delicious anyway.

Adding fresh herbs would be amazing. You could also shallow fry them, although patties tend to absorb a lot of oil. Makes 15 small patties

Squash patties Squash patties
I love squash. All squash. I make these patties out of yellow summer squash or zucchini or a mix of both. They’re almost like eating a hash brown. The longer you let the shredded squash drain, the more bite to the patty. These are a great vehicle for anything you want to put on top or straight out of the skillet. My daughters and I make ourselves sick eating these 😂#mycookbook

Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip
Hello everyone, The other day I was chatting with a really sweet new blogger friend, in regards to recipes with Courgettes/Zucchinis. She mentioned that her garden is filled with Courgettes, and besides soups she really didn’t know what else to do with them. So, because I know she is a very busy bee, I am posting another recipe that I think she will enjoy, as I hope you will too. 🙂This appetizer goes great with the famous Tzaziki Dip, which I think or I am sure most know of, so to accompany this absolutely delicious Courgette dish, I made the traditional Tzatziki dip. This dip recipe varies from region to region in Greece, others add dill, other add capers, personally the taste is the same as long as there is cucumber, olive oil, and garlic it’s Tzaziki.The drinks that usually accompany these types of appetizers is Ouzo or Tsipouro, but again it could be beer, (I don’t drink Ouzo or Tsipouro…I am more of a wine person 🙂 ) it all comes down to what you enjoy drinking. 🙂

Indian Veggie Potato Patties Indian Veggie Potato Patties
In India, this is sold at street-side food stands, but is also sometimes made at home. Since India is a vegetarian-based country, the local McDonald's also serve these potato burgers (McAloo Tikki), which are popular with people of all ages. With that in mind, I came up with this recipe for a home-cooked version.For this recipe, I used spinach since it was on hand, but you can use any variety of cooked mixed vegetables. Just parboil and chop and prep any vegetable on hand, and add it to the mixture.At McDonald's, they serve them deep-fried, but this recipe is the authentic way of eating them. Recipe by Plabar

I hope you'll try this recipe even if you don't like chickpeas because you can't really taste them, they just bind the whole mixture. The sweetness of the squash or of the sweet potatoes goes well with chili sauce -
