1 dl Turkish yoghurt
1/2 lime, zest and juice
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
Rucola leaves, cleaned

Steps:

Mix together the Turkish yoghurt, lime juice and zest. Season with salt, sugar and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
Squeeze as much of the moisture as you can out of the coarsely grated courgettes. You can just use your hands for this, but I prefer to use a clean tea towel. Fold the towel around the courgette to form a ball and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.
Mix the courgettes, halloumi, egg, mint, and coriander together in a bowl.
Shape the mix into burgers. There should be approx 8.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, and fry the burgers on a medium heat until they are browned on each side (approx 4 mins on each side).
Serve with sliced, toasted bread of your choice, the lime and yoghurt sauce, and rucola leaves.
