Pork patties

HERE’S a dish you are going to want to try straight away.

Cook a roast pork one night and have these pork patties the next day with the leftovers.

These tasty little guys are great served with a tossed salad or creamy coleslaw.

Add a dollop of mayonnaise and a sprinkle of sliced green onions for a delicious garnish.

For a lazy dinner we wrap them in a lettuce leaf and eat them as finger food.
