A healthy, easy and quick recipe.

It's pumpkin, cabbage and other winter vegetables season, but certainly also courgettes. We're a little tired of courgette soups, stuffed courgettes and courgette spaghetti, but it would be a shame to let them rot in the bottom drawer of your fridge, knowing that even when cooked, they contain copper and calcium, as well as vitamin E, K1 and B9. They contain fibre which facilitates intestinal transit, as well as the elimination of toxins and fats since courgettes are 95% liquid.

So I suggest you try, without further ado, the courgette patties with feta,

with a tzatziki yoghurt sauce.

You can serve them as an appetizer, as a side dish for the main course or even as a great breakfast, with a slice of smoked salmon for example.

These patties are an easy way to get children to eat vegetables.

They are also ideal for the lunchbox of young and old alike.

Here is the recipe for courgette patties with feta cheese and tzatziki yoghurt sauce.
