Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing the leeks. Trim off the root end and the dark green tops. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Chop the leeks finely.
-
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater.
-
In a large bowl, combine the chopped leeks, grated carrots, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, eggs, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Shape the mixture into small patties, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each patty. You should get about 8-10 patties, depending on the size.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Gently place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the patties are cooked through and golden on both sides, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the Leek and Carrot Patties warm, garnished with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. These patties are delicious on their own or served with a side salad for a light and satisfying meal.
