Meat Patties

Ingredients

• 1 small red onion, very finely chopped
• 1 -2 Tablespoon harissa, more if you want it spicier
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 Tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley ( or a mix of coriander and parsley)
• 1 Tablespoon chopped chives
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• lemon slice, to serve

Directions

1. Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl with the meat, except the olive oil.
2. Dust your hands with flour next ( as this step can get sticky) and shape into 8 patties.
3. In a frying pan heat the oil and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side.
4. If you have to do this in batches, use half the oil for the first batch and keep the patties warm whilst you fry the others.
