feta last and mix in.
3. Roll a couple of
spoonfuls of the mixture
into round patties with your
hands and place on a tray
or plate ready to cook.
Repeat this process.
4. Once you’ve used up
all the mixture, heat a
tablespoon of oil in
a large frying pan over
a medium heat.
5. When hot, carefully lay
the patties in the pan and
cook for 2-3 minutes on
each side. You may need
to do this in batches
depending on the size of
your pan, adding extra oil
to the pan each time. Keep
the heat medium – too hot
and they’ll burn before
cooking through.
6. When the cakes are
golden and crispy but
still soft in the middle,
they are ready.
7. Serve two cakes per
person with a side of thinly
sliced vegetables.
8. Season with salt and
freshly ground pepper,
then drizzle with a little oil
