Burgers are such a versatile meal.  What we mean by that is, you can serve them with veggies and mashed potatoes, or a nice salad, or, of course, between a bread roll!

On top of versatile, they are generally cheap as well, making them perfect for budget-conscious families.  Oh and lastly, you can hide a few sneaky veggies in them – which is what we have done with this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. mexican spice mix
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 cm cube of fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp. sprigs fresh parsley
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1/2 brown onion
  • 500 g chicken mince
  • freshly made breadcrumbs (gluten-free works well)

Instructions

Thermal Cooking Method

  1. Add the Mexican spice mix, garlic, ginger, parsley, carrot, zucchini and onion to the mixing jug and blitz for 2-3 seconds/speed 5 (it needs to be fine but not a puree).
  2. Tip out into a large bowl containing the chicken mince, then mix until well combined (the mixture will be a bit wet, but this is normal).
  3. Scoop out a small amount of mixture at a time and flatten out gently. Roll in breadcrumbs and shallow fry in a medium/hot pan until cooked through and golden on the outside. We love to use ghee, but any oil will work fine.
  4. Serve with salad or however you choose.

Traditional Cooking Method

  1. Into a large mixing bowl grate the ginger, carrot, zucchini and onion. Add crushed garlic and Mexican spice mix and stir well.
  2. Add the chicken mince to the same bowl and mix until well combined (the mixture is a bit wet, but this is normal).
  3. Scoop out a small amount of mixture at a time and flatten out. Roll in breadcrumbs and shallow fry in a medium/hot pan till cooked through and golden on the outside. I love to use ghee, but any oil will work fine.
  4. Serve with salad or however you choose.
