- Add the chopped spinach and feta and stir through the mix.
- Heat a frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat

Cook’s notes:
We served the patties with a simple spinach salad and some homemade relish. Natural Greek yoghurt is also delicious with a squeeze of lemon juice or finely chopped mint.
