Loading ...Notes:
An inexpensive and healthy alternative to traditional burgers. These have no buns. I have served them with whole wheat tortilla wraps, corn cobs, and a tasty tomato salsa, plus a big green salad.
The kids also like them with jacket/baked potatoes or rice or couscous.
You can also make this with turkey mince/ground turkey which will be even lower calories.
You can also use lamb mince/ground lamb. If using lamb, use mint instead of mixed herbs.
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
• 2 slices wholemeal/whole wheat bread
• 500gm (18oz) minced beef/ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
• 2 teaspoon sesame seeds
Option1:
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ teaspoon mustard
• Fresh milled black pepper
Option 2:
• 1 teaspoons Cayenne based seasoning, e.g. Jean Lafittes Cajun Seasoning
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Lightly grease a large baking tray.
2. Run some cold water over the bread and squeeze out the excess. Using your fingers, mix together the soaked bread with all the other ingredients, except for the sesame seeds.
3. Place the beef mix into the tray and flatten with a spatula so it becomes one even layer.
4. Cook in the centre of the oven for about 10 minutes, then sprinkle on the sesame seeds and gently press onto the surface.
5. Return the tray to the oven for a further 15 minutes or until beef is fully cooked.
6. Remove from the oven and cut into finger shapes.
7. Serve the burger sticks hot or cold.
