     2 oz (50g)       ground almonds
     1/2 tsp            mustard powder
     3 oz (75g)       brown breadcrumbs
     3 oz (75g)       onion peeled, finely grated
     1 level tsp       yeast extract (Marmite or Vegemite)
     1 level tsp       mixed herbs
     1                    egg, beaten
     1 tblsp            hot milk
                           seasoning to taste
                           vegetable oil for frying

         almonds, mustard, crumbs, onion, yeast extract and herbs.
     2  Bind together with egg and milk, stirring with a fork. Season to taste with salt and
         pepper. Shape into 8 burgers with damp hands. Leave to stand 1/2 hour to firm-up.
