Healthy snack foods - meat patties.

Meat patties are a great little snack. Just make up a kilogram of Pattie mix, cook and store (fridge or freezer).

Any type of meat is fine - beef, chicken, turkey, lamb or fish. Just make sure that whichever meat you use, it is low fat, premium and, if possible, organic.

The basic recipe is the same for all the above:

I kilo of the desired meat.
3 or 4 garlic cloves.
1 medium onion.
2 eggs.
freshly chopped parsley.
seasoning of choice.

Chop the onion and garlic cloves and gently brown in a little olive oil in a large fry pan. Place the cooked onion and garlic on some absorbent paper and allow to cool. In a large mixing bowl add the meat, cooled onion and garlic, parsley, your desired seasoning, and the two whole (the whites and the yolks) eggs. Mix very thoroughly with your hands. When fully mixed form into 100 gram patties, place into the fry pan and gently cook till they are "how you like it".

Allow to cool then refrigerate what you want soon and freeze the rest - hint - for freezing, wrap each one separately in cling wrap - this allows you to take them out one at a time for snacks.

That's it. How easy is that!
