  • 1/2 Onion
  • Water
Method:
  1. Place all ingredients, except water, in a food processor and blend well.

  3. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Press firmly together into walnut sized spoonfuls and fry gently in oil, turning when golden.

Variation:

Add 2 cups of grated cauliflower to the above mix, with a little more water if the mix seems crumbly.
