Directions:

• Mix all the patty ingredients thoroughly, leaving the salt for after the patties are cooked if you prefer
• Make sure the mixture is cool. Divide mixture into 4 equal balls and mold into patties
• Cook on medium heat under the grill, on the barbecue or in a pan untill the patty is cooked to your preferred degree of doneness or the internal temp reaches 160F/70C
• Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly (under grill, on barbecue or in a pan) just before the patties are done.
