1. Preheat oven to 200u0b0C.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead well.
3. Pinch off 16 portions of mixture, roll them into smooth balls, and with wet hands press out the balls into patties.
4. Arrange patties on a lightly oiled baking tray and place into oven until they dry out a little and darken slightly (around 20 minutes for my oven).
5. (Burgers can now be refrigerated or frozen until needed).
6. Pan-fry in oil until hot.
