These beef burgers are made with grated beetroot which not only gives them a fun colour, but ‘hides’ a veggie in the patties.
Beetroot Beef Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 dsp olive oil
- 1 small red or white onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 500 g lean beef mince
- 1 small raw beetroot peeled and finely grated
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- Dash Worcester sauce – optional
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil.
- Optional step - Pour the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion over a medium heat until soft, add the garlic and cook for another minute then place to one side to cool.
- In a large bowl, mash the beef mince with a fork to break it down. Stir through the cooled/raw onions and garlic, beetroot, egg, ground cumin, ground coriander, Worcester sauce and salt and pepper, mixing until well combined.
- With wet hands, take a small handful of the mixture – slightly larger than golf ball size – and shape into a ball. Place on the greased tray and flatten to around 2cm thick.
- Once all burgers have been shaped, drizzle over a little more oil, then cover with clingfilm and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Heat the oven to 220˚C/ 425˚F.
- Take the clingfilm off the burgers and place the tray in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the burgers are cooked through.
- Serve in a bun with avocado, lettuce and tomato – or any combination you or your child eat!
- Barbecue – heat the barbecue and cook for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked through.
