Burger bowl
Burger Bowl
My boys love homemade burgers but I personally much prefer this veggie loaded bowl version.
If you’re looking for a lighter burger meal with more veggies, try this combo next time.
Ingredients:
250g finely chopped mushrooms
250g beef mince
½ onion, grated or finely chopped
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs or rolled oats (optional)
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
To serve: Lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, cheese, coleslaw, pickles
How to make:
Finely chop the mushrooms (or blitz in the blender) to replicate mince, then combine with mince, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl mixing well with your hands.
Form into 6 patties.
Heat the plate of the barbecue or some oil in a frying pan over a high heat, add the patties and cook, turning once to desired doneness, about 3 minutes each side, but this will depend on the thickness of your patty. Do not press the patty down when cooking, this squeezes out juices.
If you like melted cheese in your burger you can add a slice of cheddar when you have turned the patty and it will melt as you finish cooking.
Serve with salad
With the burger 50:50 mince and chopped mushrooms, and with the recommended goal being to have over 30 different types of plant foods each week, this is great a step in the right direction!
