Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook them until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the patties from the pan and set them aside.

- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the pan to thicken the gravy.
- Plate the patties and generously spoon the gravy over the top before serving.
