#300 Homemade beef burgers

It has been awhile since I cooked a meal for Iman, so today I decided to be a good wife and make homemade beef patties served with Cajun infused fries, salad and a glass of virgin mojito for my dearest husband.

Ingredients:

400g lean beef mince 
5 spring onions, finely chopped 
2 finely grated carrots
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium egg, beaten 
1 1/2 tsp olive oil, for brushing 
Salt & Pepper to taste

Preparation Method:

  1. Tip the mince into a bowl with the spring onions, grated carrot, garlic, and egg. Mix well using a fork. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt, then divide the mixture into 4. 
  2. Flatten each piece with your hands into a round, about 2 cm thick - or similiar width to your buns. Chill for 30 minutes or until ready to cook. 
  3. Heat a griddle pan. Brush each burger on one side with some of the olive oil. Place on the hot griddle , oiled side down. Cook for 5 minutes on each side. 
  4. Remove and let the burgers rest for 3 mins. 
  5. Serve with salad and fries. Bon appetite.
