2 small garlic cloves,

cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large
bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Stir basil, sage, salt, coriander and pepper into the

turning the patties over halfway through cooking.
Drain on paper towels. Makes 8 servings.
Tip: You can freeze the patties for later use. Thaw
them in the refrigerator.
