Recipe notes

Helpful tips

  • Salt the grated zucchini and leave it for 5 minutes before squeezing out the moisture.
  • Mash the cooked lentils while still warm enough to combine easily.
  • Shape each patty to about 60 to 70 g for even cooking.
  • Cook over medium heat with the lid on so the centres heat through.

Storage

Cool promptly and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a frying pan or air fryer until hot.
