400g brazil nuts

if needs a bit more moisture, add some more stock or a dash of water, but be careful not to make too mushy.
scoop out heaped spoonfuls and form into flat patty shapes

shallow fry on both sides in a fypan on me-high heat

nice served with sweet chilli sauce (made in TM of course!)

These were delicious, except they need something to bind them I found.... they all fell to pieces.

I did the second batch in my sillicone mini muffin mould, and they were great!

Greenie, you can modify your own recipe to include the missing ingredient.   Might be a good idea to do so in case people don't read all the postings below it.
