  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

  1. Use the specified two tablespoons of fully hydrated cooked couscous; if starting from dry, prepare separately following its package directions.

  2. Wash and grate carrot and zucchini, removing tough vegetable pieces; combine with raw chicken mince and egg yolk and the cooled cooked couscous.

  3. Form thin, moist patties rather than thick rounded balls; cook in a lightly oiled pan, turning carefully.

  4. Check the centre reaches 74°C (165°F) for the chicken-and-egg mixture and no wet egg or raw chicken remains; keep patties soft.

  5. Cool, press-test for easy squashing and serve in manageable soft strips or mash if firm.
