Burger night done right!🍔
DIY veggie burger or low-carb & lean? Whichever you’re feeling for we’ve got 2 incredible recipes perfect for burger night!
1. DIY veggie burger
A nutrient filled, vegetarian take on the typical burger patty.
Recipe below and in the video on our stories!
Ingredients: Makes 5-6 medium sized patties
* 1 can of chickpeas (drained, rinsed)
* 1 red onion, chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
* 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drainedÂ
* A small handful of fresh basil leaves
* ½ cup ground almonds
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* ½ teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon cumin
* 1 egg
* 40g brown bread crumbs (we grated 2 slices of high protein bread)
Pre-heat the oven to 220°C. Using a food processor, blend the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, sundried tomatoes & fresh basil. A blender can also be used however you’d need to add 2-3 ingredients at a time & stop to scrape down the sides. Add the ground almonds, egg, bread crumbs & seasonings. Blend until everything is incorporated. Place the mixture in a bowl, cover & refrigerate for 30 minutes. Mould the mixture into 5-6 medium sized patties. Place in the oven for 35-45 minutes.
For your burger: Mix red & white slaw with a teaspoon of reduced oil mayo. Top the slaw mix on a whole-wheat bun. Add the pickles, patty & a mix of sprouts.
2. The Lean Ostrich Burger - dynamite comes in small packages
This one contains a whopping 21g of protein in the patty alone & is perfect for a quick, lean dinner.
Serve your grilled ostrich patties on oven roasted portobello mushrooms & add fresh rocket, sliced tomatoes, sauted red onions & a generous dollop of reduced-fat hummus
There you go - two healthy alternatives to a typical burger that are packed with nutrients as well as flavour!
