A recipe for healthy hamburgers
Why not make you own healthy burgers using good quality minced beef and no nasties. The delicious hamburger recipe can be made with beef, lamb or chicken. You can serve the burgers in a toasted bun, with extras like lettuce, pickled cucumber, sliced tomato, thinly sliced sautéed onion and maybe a little ketchup or mustard.

Ingredients
450g/1lb lean minced beef or lamb

1/2 lightly beaten egg
60g fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Fry the onion and red pepper in the vegetable oil for about 5 minutes o until softened. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion together with all the other ingredients. With floured hands, form 10 burgers.
