Season to taste with minced onion, parsley. Cumin, coriander powder, cayenne turnieric are good but salt and black pepper are good too. If you fry chicken try those seasonings too. Paprika and mustard.

Make patties, croquettes or balls no larger than a golf ball.

Fry in oil.

You can experiment with combining this with canned salmon.

If you eat the paste before you season it you will notice it is very much like chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s tempting to season with vanilla and are what happens with chunks of dark chocolate and hazelnuts.
