Ingredients:
- 150 g zucchini
- 500 g ground meat
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 bunch parsley
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste

Directions:
Grate the zucchini coarsely, then sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, drain the excess liquid. Finely chop or grate the onion and carrot. In a deep bowl, mix the ground meat, drained zucchini, onion, carrot, finely chopped parsley, egg, and breadcrumbs together. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything well until all the ingredients are combined.
Now, shape the mixture into patties of your desired size. Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked. You can serve them warm or cold, based on your preference.
