I hate waste so when I bought a juicer and realised how much was in the pulp bin I had to find a way of using it up. I've called them patties, as I originally wanted to make a ball (reminiscent of a meat ball) but you need a flat surface in order to get a nice fried crust. They are great as vegan burgers if you make them into bigger patties.
