Manti Burger

The Manti Burger is a delightful fusion of traditional Turkish flavors and modern low-carb cooking, featuring spiced beef patties wrapped in a zucchini 'bun'. Topped with a tangy yogurt sauce and fresh herbs, this dish is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Zucchini - 1 medium
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated zucchini, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, egg, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
4. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice sear.
6. While the patties are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
7. Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Serve the patties topped with the yogurt sauce and additional parsley if desired.
