Directions:

2. Preheat 2 Tablespoons olive oil into a nonstick frying pan using medium heat. Form the veggie ham paste mixture into small balls, then press down to shape the balls into round patties. Fry both sides until golden. Remove the patties and place on paper towel to absorb some of the oil.
