Flour your hands and take scoops of the mixture from the bowl, roll into balls and then squash into a burger-sized patties. Chill until you are ready to cook

Fire up the barbie and once it is hot enough cook the burgers until golden brown and crisp. As these are veggie burgers, you don’t have to worry about the cooking. They are safe to eat raw. I like mine fairly charred!
