Method

1. Grate the courgette, salt it, leave 5 minutes, wring hard.
2. Mix with the beef mince, egg, ground almonds, flaxseed and half the dill, shape four patties 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.
3. Fry in the olive oil 4 minutes a side, until deep golden and 74°C (165°F) inside.
4. Mash the avocado with the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and last dill, cold.
5. Set the hot patties on the cold yogurt. Keeps three days, crisped in a dry pan.
