Burger recipe

This is a favourite of mine, it’s very quick and you can prepare the mixture ahead.

Serves 4

Ingredients

500g lean beef mince (don’t use extra-lean mince as the burgers will be too dry)

2 Tablespoons of breadcrumbs

1 medium egg

2 medium tomatoes-grated

½ medium onion-finely chopped

1 spoonful finely chopped parsley

1 Tablespoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon mild chilli

1 Tablesoon Salt

1/2  Tablespoon Pepper

Sparkling water, if required

Method

This is so simple. Add the ingredients-except the sparkling water to the mince and mix together. You want your burgers to be moist, so if your mixture is looking a bit tough add sparkling water and mix in.

Shape the mixture into burgers by flattening between your hands- it doesn’t really matter what they look like- they will still taste lovely

You can cook these in a pan with some olive oil or butter or you can even barbeque them. However make sure that you cook on medium heat as you want these cooked through, otherwise they will just burn on the outside.

You can serve with a salad and yogurt.

TIP- if you don’t have breadcrumbs, you can toast some bread and make breadcrumbs, alternatively you can grate Ryvita’s!
