Chop the red pepper. Add them to the mixing bowl.

MAKE THE BURGERS
Heat a few tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Make the burgers so they are firm.
Put them gently in the oil. Don’t turn them over right away. Allow them to cook, medium heat, on the first side for at least 10 minutes. Turn them over and allow the other side to cook, browning nicely. Don’t worry about overcooking, they will take some time to cook so they will stay firm.
