Method

- Using wetted hands, divide the mixture into eight and shape into patties. Place patties on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and chill for 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spray with oil spray. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Serve with rocket and baby spinach and a tablespoon of hummus.
