Veggie Packed Beef Patties
Sneaking veggies in when you can is a great way to get more nutrition into your body, especially for children. Yes, you should still serve vegetables bold and proud on everyone's plate, but sneakily adding in a few here and there is a great option too.
These beef patties are great to use in burgers, or have them like we did - served with a big salad on the side. Topping with a egg is also another great idea.
Makes 6 large patties
Ingredients:
-
500g of beef mince
-
1 small onion, peeled
-
1 carrot
-
1 courgette
-
1 garlic clove (minced or finely diced)
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 egg (lightly beaten)
Method:
-
Grate the onion, carrot and courgette, put into a clean tea towel and squeeze as much liquid out as you can.
-
Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix until just combined.
-
Make 6 large round balls of the mixture and flatten to make patties.
-
Gently poke your thumb into the middle of each pattie to make an indent which will stop them from shrinking.
-
Place into a oiled and heated frying pan (cast iron is best and cook with coconut or avocado oil) or cook on a BBQ.
-
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes on the other side until cooked through (try not to burn them, as I did!).
-
Serve straight away
