Zingy lemon, crumbly feta and the freshness of mint all come together with the pork and fennel to make a dish that’s perfect for a summer gathering. Serve three each for a delicious starter, or make them half the size for a tasty canapé.  If you do make them smaller, be sure to adjust the cooking time so they are cooked through but stay beautifully moist (for canapé size aim for 3-4 minutes on the griddle, then 4 more in the oven). Serve alongside a simple salad of griddled courgettes dressed in lemon and good olive oil and you have a fine way to start a warm summer’s evening.

Serves 6 (18 starter size patties or approx 36 canapés)

Ingredients
500g pork mince
50g feta, crumbled
1 red chilli (medium heat) finely chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds
Zest of one lemon
8 large mint leaves, finely sliced

Recipe

Preheat oven to 200’C.

Thoroughly combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add ¾ of a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper.  Shape into patties by rolling in the palm of your hands.  Refrigerate for at least ½ an hour*, or you can make them a day or two ahead if you prefer.

Heat a griddle pan to a medium-high heat then add the patties. Cook for 5 minutes, turning every minute or two until golden. Place on a parchment lined tray and bake for 5 minutes, or until they reach 75’C internal temperature on a thermometer**. Serve.

Useful tips

*A few tips to prevent the patties coming apart – Ensure the patties remain cold until the moment they go in the pan, let them form a good crust before attempting to flip them, avoid moving them around too much whilst cooking.

**Kitchen thermometers prove invaluable when working with meat, as soon as it reads 75’C for any minced meat it will be safe to eat. alue:

Broccoli, pumpkin & feta tart with crispy sage...yup that tart case is literally made of broccoli! I love a good tart (!) but all that butter & flour is slightly guilt inducing, so I’m delighted with this healthy, low-carb alternative. Still tastes absolutely delicious and holds up really well too.
Today is absolutely soup sipping weather. This one I made a few months back is just about the most vibrant and delicious soup EVER! Frozen peas are the most useful standby to have, and when whizzed up with fresh basil and some courgettes they make for a beautiful soup. Finish with some salty, tangy and totally delicious @odysea_ltd feta and you’re winning 👌
Just posted a really beautiful new recipe on the blog, this one’s a real treat! The juiciest charred salmon served alongside golden, caramelised fennel and a seriously moreish pea & tarragon purée. Super simple to cook but majorly delicious to eat. I was hoping to create another new recipe today but alas, a migraine struck at the worst possible time, doh!  Will save my plans for next week though and be back stronger than ever. Hope everyone’s had a great week
