Packed with vegetables and flavorful spices, this burger is a great alternative to traditional meat-based options. Serve it with a refreshing yogurt sauce and fresh tomatoes for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 eggplant
• 1 zucchini
• 1 potato
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Yogurt (for the sauce)
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt (to taste)
• Turmeric (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Wash the eggplant, zucchini, and potato.
   • Peel the potato and grate it into a bowl.
   • Grate the zucchini as well and place it in the bowl with the grated potato.
   • Slice the eggplant into thin rounds or grate it, depending on your preference. If slicing, you can grill the slices; if grating, mix it with the other vegetables.
2. Season the Vegetables:
   • Add the minced garlic to the grated vegetables (including the eggplant if you chose to grate it).
   • Season the mixture with salt, turmeric, and black pepper to taste.
   • Mix everything well, making sure the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Form the Patties:
   • Take a handful of the vegetable mixture and form it into a patty. The mixture might be slightly wet, but it should hold together. If it’s too wet, you can add a little bit of breadcrumbs or flour to help bind it.
   • Repeat this process to make additional patties.
4. Cook the Patties:
   • Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • If you sliced the eggplant, you can grill the slices on a grill pan or in the oven until they are tender and slightly charred.
5. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with the chopped parsley. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. This will be the sauce for the burger.
6. Assemble the Burger:
   • Place a cooked patty on a burger bun or a slice of bread.
   • Top with a slice of tomato and a spoonful of the yogurt sauce.
   • Add a slice of grilled eggplant (if you didn’t grate it) for extra flavor.
   • You can also add some fresh greens like lettuce or spinach if desired.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the zucchini, eggplant, and potato burgers warm, accompanied by extra yogurt sauce on the side.

Conclusion:

This zucchini, eggplant, and potato burger is a flavorful and healthy alternative to traditional burgers. The combination of vegetables and spices creates a patty that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the yogurt sauce adds a refreshing and creamy touch. This burger is perfect for a quick, nutritious meal that doesn’t compromise on taste. Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make burger with your family and friends!
