Measure 1 tbsp. of the mixture into 1 cm thick patties. Heat enough oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat to cover the base.
Place the patties into the oil, cook for 2 minutes until deep golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Serve with lime wedges and reduced-sugar sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
According to Heart UK, Omega 3 fats are a group of fats we need to stay healthy. They’re especially good for heart health, and eating them could help to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Omega 3 fats are a type of unsaturated fat – the type of fat that’s good for your cholesterol levels. The other main type of fat is saturated fats, which raise your cholesterol levels. For a heart-healthy diet, it’s good to swap saturated fats for unsaturated fats.
