Beef and Mushroom Burgers

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

250g extra lean beef mince

250g Button mushrooms, chopped and pan fried

½ onion, finely chopped

125ml dried breadcrumbs

1 large egg

20ml tomato sauce

10ml Worcestershire sauce

15ml oil

TO SERVE

4 bread rolls

1 tomato, sliced

1 handful rocket

¼ red onion, sliced

SAUCE

100ml mayonnaise

50ml Greek yoghurt

15ml lemon juice

2ml freshly ground black pepper

 

Method

1 In a bowl, combine the mince, mushrooms, onion and breadcrumbs. Add the egg, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix together well and season with salt and pepper.

2 Form the mixture into four patties and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Fry the patties on both sides until cooked to your liking. Place the patties onto kitchen paper to drain.

3 To serve, cut the rolls in half, arrange the patties and the rest of the ingredients on top.

5 For the sauce, in a small bowl mix the mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, lemon juice and black pepper together and add a dollop to each hamburger.

 

Cook’s tip: If you have any patty mixture left over, form into meatballs.
