| I do mine very similar but have garlic in there and don't use any egg (I find if the mince is cold that you can form balls and fry them and they keep the shape)

| Hi Steve,
Funny you should bring this old post up, I now add a clove of chopped garlic too, I found it brings the flavour of the herb and spices out. I still add the egg though, can't think why I would leave it out, are you allergic to eggs? :lol:
