Venison mince patties

Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion and cook gently until very soft but uncovered.  Set aside to cool.   Put the onion into a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.    Divide the mix into 10 (approx 60g each) and shape into a patty shape of a 6cm diameter.

Fry the patties in an oiled fry pan or on a hotplate over a medium heat for 4 -5 minutes on each side.  Use a bread knife to cut open the sliders.  Place a dollop of mayonnaise on the heel of the bun, top with a patty, add some watercress then put on the top bun.  Serve immediately.
