Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 12 patties.
In a large non-stick frying pan, heat half of the oil over medium-high. Place 3 patties in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes each side, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining patties, adding a little of the remaining oil as required.
