   Prepare a skillet, blender, colander, and paper towels.

   Place the oatmeal in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 30–40 minutes until the oats swell and cool. The boiling water should cover the oats by 1 cm.

   Step 3

   

   Pour hot water over the broccoli for 3 minutes to thaw. Transfer to a small pot, cover with water, add salt, and cook for 5 minutes.

   Drain the broccoli in a colander and let cool. Transfer to a blender jar. Peel and roughly chop the onion, add to the broccoli, and blend into a vegetable crumble.

   Step 5

   

   Add the swollen oatmeal to the broccoli and onion mixture, crack in the egg, and crumble the feta by hand. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.

   TipSince feta cheese is salty, you'll need less salt.

   Step 6

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Spoon the mixture onto the skillet, forming small pancakes. Fry over medium heat for 3 minutes per side.

   TipTransfer the cooked pancakes to paper towels to remove excess oil.
