Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

1
Salsa tip
Keep the salsa warm until burgers are ready.
Easy to assemble and a cooked salsa makes a delicious dish
The cooked salsa is so lovely, I would make it first so the salsa goes cold. By cooking it makes for a lovely mellow taste. Also the burger patty is thinner than usual which I found was so much nicer and then topped with remaining ingredients

Calories 405kcal

Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

For the patties

  • 500 g 5% fat beef mince
  • 1 tbsp Henderson's relish or Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp garlic granules or garlic powder
  • 2 tsp mustard powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

  • 5 tsp extra-light mayo
  • 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1½ tsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp tomato puree

For the burgers

  • 4 bacon medallions
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • 4 gluten-free ciabattas
  • 4 slices light burger cheese
  • low-calorie cooking spray
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Mix all the patty ingredients together in a bowl. It’s best to mix with your hands, as this helps to bring the meat together.
  • Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties about 1cm thick and leave to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • While the patties are resting, spray your frying pan with some low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Push the onions to the edges of the pan and put your bacon medallions in. Cook them for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through to your liking. Transfer the bacon and onions to a plate and cover with foil while you cook the burgers.
  • Cut your buns in half. Spray with low-calorie cooking spray on the cut side and place in the frying pan to toast for 1-2 minutes. Once done, set aside.
  • Spray the frying pan with more low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Cook the burgers for around 5 minutes each side until cooked through. If using a barbecue, spray the burgers with low-calorie cooking spray before placing on the griddle to cook.
  • Once the burgers are cooked, turn off the heat and put a slice of cheese on each burger. Place a lid or large plate over the pan and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  • Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • On the bottom half of the bun place a burger, a bacon medallion, some onion and sauce, then add the top half of the bun. Serve with a side of your choice.

Notes

Tip: If you place a lid on the frying pan whilst cooking your burgers they will be even juicer!
Tip: You could also use a 60g wholemeal bun for this recipe if you prefer.

Calories 362kcal

Equipment

  • frying pan or griddle pan
  • small bowl
  • large bowl
  • burger press (useful but not essential)

Ingredients

For the patties

  • 500 g 5% fat minced beef
  • 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 small pepper, any colour, approx. 100g deseeded and finely chopped
  • 20 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • low calorie cooking spray

For the spice mix

  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garlic granules

For the dressing

  • 75 g fat free Greek yoghurt
  • 50 g blue cheese, crumbled

To serve

  • 6 wholemeal bread rolls
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 iceberg lettuce, shredded
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Sauté the onions and peppers for 5 minutes until softened. Place in a large mixing bowl and allow to cool.
  • Combine all of the spice mix ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare the blue cheese dressing by lightly mashing the cheese and the yoghurt together with a fork, mixing well, but keeping a chunky texture.
  • When the peppers and onions are cool, add the mince, panko breadcrumbs and half the spice mix. Add the egg and mix together throughly. At this stage, you can cook a small penny sized piece in a hot frying pan and taste. Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and black pepper to taste. Form the mixture into 6 burgers. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • When ready to cook, spray the burgers liberally on both sides with low calorie cooking spray and then rub in the remaining spice mix.
  • Place the frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the burgers. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side. The spice coating should blacken, but not burn. You may need to do this in 2 batches.
  • Split the rolls in half and fill with the lettuce, tomato and onion. Place a burger on top and then dollop a spoonful of the blue cheese dressing on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: We used smoked paprika (also known as smoked sweet paprika). This has a mild spice rating. You can also use hot smoked paprika. This has a more fiery kick to it and you should only use this if you like your spices hot!
Tip: We used Stilton cheese, but you can use any blue cheese you prefer.
