Burgers

One for the meat lovers, the inspiration for this one came from Sonny's Fit Nut class at school, the reason I think he loves eating them so much is that he gets to make them. We make them in the food processor which makes them so easy but you could do them by hand.

Makes about 20 small burgers
500g organic minced beef
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
half red pepper & half yellow pepper
2 good handfuls of spinach
few florets of broccoli
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste

1. Put the onion, garlic, peppers and broccoli into the food processor and process until all the vegetables are cut very fine, but not mushed.
2. Add the minced meat, spinach, egg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Process until all the ingredients are well mixed.
3. Take golf ball sized amounts of the mixture and flatten into mini burgers.
4. Put a spot of olive oil into a heavy based frying pan and heat on a gentle heat, put the burgers in about 6 at a time, and fry without burning. I often only cook half the batch and freeze the other half, separating the burgers with greaseproof/baking paper.

We had these tonight served with carrot and courgette sticks and brown rice noodles with sweet chili sauce.
