Method:

1) To prepare the patties, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until the courgette is fully incorporated. Shape the mixture into small and equal patties and store in the fridge until ready to cook.

2) Prepare the sumac yogurt by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside to serve.

3) Prepare the root vegetable slaw by combining all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside to serve.

4) Fry the patties in a large, well oiled frying pan over a medium-high heat for around 6-8 minutes each side or until cooked through. It is often helpful to cover the pan for the second half of cooking to ensure the patties will be fully cooked whilst maintaining their moisture.

5) Serve the patties with some warmed pita, the sumac yogurt and some root vegetable slaw.
