- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely grated
Binding and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 50 g (1.8 oz) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten

Instructions
- Thoroughly blend chopped onion, fine breadcrumbs, ground beef, grated courgette, finely diced carrot, beaten egg, minced garlic, aromatic dried herbs, and Worcestershire sauce in a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate 2 teaspoons each of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed by hand-mixing.
- Gently form the combined mixture into 14-16 uniform, slightly flattened mini patties, maintaining consistent size and thickness for even cooking.
- Refrigerate the shaped patties for approximately 15 minutes to enhance structural integrity and prevent potential crumbling during cooking.

- Carefully place patties in the heated pan, allowing them to sizzle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Utilize a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), ensuring complete and safe cooking throughout.
