Prepare the broccoli<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steam the broccoli until tender.

Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Form the patties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shape the mixture into about 8 small patties, pressing gently so they hold together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.
