When well combined, stir in the feta.

    2 Form the mixture into 4 patties and coat with the remaining flour. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and fry the patties for 5–6 min on each side until crisp on the outside and cooked through.

    3 Mix the remaining oil and lemon juice, add black pepper and toss with the salad leaves.
