Beef burger with veggies
Background
This beef burger with veggies is very popular with kids - they don't even realize that it contains lots of vegetables. You can mix Β grated root vegetables or chopped mushrooms, courgette, green beans etc with the mince. They are perfect for barbeques and kid's parties -the patties are gluten-free and egg-free. Serve in buns or with fries or, as a healthier option, with chunky sweet potatoes and a green salad.
Ingredients
- 200g minced beef
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp mustard
- Β½ cup grated vegetables (eg, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms)
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped spring onion or shallot
- 1 clove garlic, pressed (optional)
- 1 Tbsp chopped herbs (such as basil, coriander or parsley )
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- Cheese slices (optional)
- olive oil
- To serve: buns, lettuce, grilled pepper, sliced tomato and cucumber, mayonnaise, ketchup, French fries
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the mixture well with your hands, then divide it into equal portions. Shape these into balls then flatten them between your palms. Put the patties onto a plate and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your BBQ, grill or griddle pan. Lightly brush both sides of the burgers with some oil. Barbecue or fry for 4-8 minutes on each side, according to your liking.
- If you want cheese on your burger, put a slice on the top after you've turned them over - for the last 3-4 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, cut the buns in half and toast them, cut-side down, on the barbecue or grill.
- Assemble the burgers to your liking: layer lettuce, grilled pepper, sliced tomatoes, onion, gherkin and tomato ketchup/mayo on the bottom half of the bun, place the burger on top then cover with the other half of the bun.
- Serve with fries on the side.
