- Form into two firm round patties and arrange on two circles of unbleached parchment paper. If you have time, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight if you can make them the day before).
- Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a medium-low heat with a splash of oil. Arrange the patties, still on their parchment paper, in the pan and cook for approx. 5 minutes or until the bases start to brown. Avoid the temptation to move the burgers until the undersides form a crust, when you can carefully flip them over with a fish slice. Transfer the pan to the oven for 5–10 minutes while you prepare the trimmings.oil for frying
- Serve how you like, in a bun and/or lettuce leaf, accompanied by the pickles and your favourite sauces.bun, lettuce leaf, tomatoes, onion, pickles, ketchup, aquafaba mayonnaise
