Preparation
• In a non-stick pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the courgette and bay leaves and continue to cook for 2 minutes and remove the bay leaves.
• Pour the mixture into the mixer bowl and add all the other ingredients. Blend until you get a texture similar to that of minced meat.
• Form patties of around 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, add some breadcrumbs.
