Chicken and vegetable burger
Not just your average burger, this chicken and vegetable burger brings a healthy twist! Sneak in those pesky veggies with this delicious recipe.
Method
- In a mortar and pestle, grind the spices together until they are a fine dust.
- In a large frying pan with a little vegetable oil, sautee the diced vegetables together with the spices until the vegetables have started to soften.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken mince, vegetable and spice mix, eggs, tomato paste and fresh herbs. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Mix well. If the mix is too wet, add some breadcrumbs to the mix to dry it out.
- Form the patties, then let them rest overnight in the fridge. Either freeze them in layers between glad wrap, or cook on a flat bbq plate or grill plate for around 3-4 minutes each side.
- Serve with your favourite toppings between a toasted hamburger bun. Enjoy!!
