Ingredients

  • 500 g Lean beef mince
  • 2 garlic clove crushed
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 shallots large; diced
  • 1 carrot small; grated
  • 0.5 Courgette (zucchini) grated
  • 1 handful mixed fresh herbs finely chopped (use whatever you have that needs using up)
  • Buns, lettuce, tomato and sauce to serve

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to mix well.
  2. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 burger patties and put in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Put your burger patties on to a hot BBQ grill and cook for 3 minutes one side and 6 minutes the other side for medium-well done.
  4. Stack your burgers by adding them to buns with lettuce, tomato and sauce.

Notes

  • You don't have to make these as burgers. Instead of forming them in to burger patties, roll the mixture in to mini meatballs and bake in a tomato sauce.
  • Mix up the flavours by adding in different herbs and spices. You could have Mexican burgers, Cajun, Italian - get creative.
  • If you are trying to keep things low carb, swap the burger bun for a giant lettuce leaf for a low carb burger option.
  • Always chill your burgers in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them stay together when cooking.
