Chicken patties with tomatoes and arugula
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you're against store-bought minced meat, prepare it yourself from red meat, preferably from thighs with a little fat—using fillet makes the patties rather dry. Instead of semolina, you can add couscous; it gives chicken patties a very interesting texture. Serve hot.
