Method
- Combine all ingredients (except the oil) in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well-combined, but not puréed. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Form the mixture into small patties. Prepare a paper towel-lined baking sheet and set aside.
- Spray pan with oil and heat. Fry the patties in batches, a couple at a time, without crowding the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining patties, and then serve immediately with salad and pita bread if desired.
