Eat the Seasons… August
Beef, Carrot & Chickpea Burgers
Schools out for Summer! It’s time to celebrate with a good BBQ, and if you want to keep it healthy here is a great way to get children eating veggies and pulses without them even knowing! This is truly, absolutely my favourite burger recipe; I hope you like it too!
Ingredients:
- 400g Lean Minced Beef
- 500g Carrots, peeled, finely grated and squeezed gently to dry them out a little
- A 425g Tin of Chickpeas
- 1 Small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic, grated
- 1” Piece of Fresh Horseradish, grated
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Method:
- Sweat the onion and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil until softened.
- Whizz together the chickpeas, carrot and egg in a blender until a thick paste is formed. Add the mince and mix thoroughly (preferably by hand).
- Add the onions and garlic to the mix along with the grated horseradish. Use your hands to combine the mixture well. Season carefully.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal burgers, approximately 3cm thick
- Ideally chill for at least an hour before cooking.
- Fry in olive oil or brush with oil and place under the grill until golden and cooked through (10 to 12 minutes).
- Serve in big buns with relish and lots of salad!
Enjoy!
