   .

3. 3

   In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the oil for cooking until well combined.

4. 4

   Shape into 4 patties.

5. 5

   I like to pile the mixture into a 3-inch ring and pull the ring away, then when I place the patties in the hot pan I press them down with the back of my spatula so they are about 1 inch thick.

6. 6

   Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to coat pan.

7. 7

   Cook patties for 4 minutes on each side.

8. 8

   Remove from pan and serve.

9. 9

   You can use a bun or not (I think they are fine without).

10. 10

    Baby arugula, mizuna or spicy micro-greens make a very nice accompaniment.
