Instructions
- Heat 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil in a pan and then add 2 Shallots and 2 Garlic clove and gently cook for 2 minutes.
- Add 175 g Quorn Meat Free Mince and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Put 1 slice Whole wheat bread into a food processor and blend until it becomes breadcrumbs. Add to a bowl with the cooked Quorn mixture, 1 Egg, 1 tablespoon Vegetarian pesto and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Mix well.
- Use your hands to form the mixture into 2 burgers and then put on a plate in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Heat 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil in the pan again and then add the burgers and cook for 2 minutes each side.
- Mix 1 tablespoon Vegetarian pesto with 4 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt and add to 2 Brioche buns with 2 handful Rocket (arugula) and then top with the burgers and 4 slices Light Mozzarella.
Notes
- Put the burgers in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking, as this will help them to stay together.
- Be really careful when flipping the Quorn burgers over, as they are a little more fragile than say beef burgers.
- We used pesto in ours to add more flavour, but you could swap it for something like harissa for a change.
- Want a lower carb option? Swap the burger bun for a giant lettuce leaf. It's a little messier, but certainly lighter.
- If you really want these in a bun, save some calories (around 100) by using a regular burger bun instead of brioche.
- Mini versions of these burgers would be great for party food.
