Autumn is almost over and my zucchini and mint plants are succumbing to the cooler weather. I wanted to make one last recipe using these gorgeous fresh ingredients from the garden before heading onto meals based on Winter produce.
These little parcels are a treat. I loved the combination of the beef, mint and pea. Fresh and light this is a great weekend lunch or entertaining idea. I froze half of the batch for Mr Fresh’s work lunches. The mixture also works well as patties for burgers. I made a batch of the mixture into patties and served them for a weekend lunch on buns filled with fresh salad ingredients and these baked potatoes on the side.
Are you already a fan of the combination of mint, peas and beef? I think I am in love.
These sound great Kyrstie. I love the way you have included the zucchini. They seem to keep coming in my garden. Thanks for the freezing tip. They sound ideal for a weekend lunch.
They certainly are great for that Tania.
do you freeze before you bake them, kyrstie? i have been thinking about making something like these flaky looking parcels to tuck away in the freezer for those nights i can’t be bothered cooking.
E I freeze them after cooking and then Mr Fresh grabs one from the freezer in the morning to re-heat for his work lunch as needed.
What a clever idea! 🙂 I’ve had mint with chicken before – and thoroughly enjoyed it – but never with beef. I must try this. 🙂
