Quick Meal Idea - Beef or Veggie Burgers

Burgers at home, made healthy (and delicious)! Serve classic-style in a wholegrain bun loaded with salad, or deconstructed in a bowl for a lower-carb option. Use veg-based patties for a vegan or plant-based meal.

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 2 x burger patties (homemade/ store-bought)

  • 2 x wholemeal buns

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

  • 2 tbsp lite mayo

  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

  • Gherkins, sliced

  • 1 medium tomato, sliced

  • Lettuce or any other veg you like!

Method:
πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ 1. Cook beef or veg patties with a little oil. Once cooked, place cheese slice on top to melt.

πŸ₯¬ 2. Spread mayo (or any sauce/chutney you prefer) and load your salad ingredients on to your toasted bun.

πŸ” 3. Place the cheese patty on top and enjoy!

Options: 

- Try swapping the pattie for an egg, chicken or fish (these home-made Black Bean Burger Patties are great to make ahead).

- Add some sauerkraut or kimchi for good gut health and a flavour bomb!

- Prep the salad ahead so it's super-quick.
