Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and brown the burgers for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat to low and cook gently for about 5 minutes until cooked through. To test, push the point of a knife down through the centre of one of the burgers. Hold for 5 seconds and remove. The blade should feel burning hot. If not, cook for a little longer. Drain on kitchen paper.
