On a weekend I love to feel as though I am treating myself. Previously this would mean a takeaway, but now I enjoy the challenge of making something delicious, indulgent and also healthy.
This burger is like something straight from America's diners, with a signature BBQ flavour with cheese and bacon. I served it with spicy potato wedges, salad and my syn free coleslaw
Serves 2
Recipe
For the burger
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
500g extra lean beef mince
1 tbsp fat free fromage fraiss
500g extra lean beef mince
1 tbsp fat free fromage fraiss
For the sauce
5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard powder
500g passata
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
3 tbsp sweetener
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
To serve
80g Low fat cheddar cheese
2 60g wholemeal rolls
syn free coleslaw
Bacon medallions, all fat removed
Bacon medallions, all fat removed
Method:-
In a pan mix passata, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, smoked paprika, sweetener and seasoning. Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for around 10 mins on a low heat
Meanwhile place the mince, onion, fat free fromage frais, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and parsley in a food processor, season well and blend until just combined. Transfer to a bowl and combine the mixture using your hands. Divide into 4 portions and shape each into a thin, flat burger.
In a frying pan fry the bacon off until crispy, then set aside.
Place the 4 pattis in the frying pan and cook on a medium heat for about 5 mins each side
Flip the burgers over and add 20g of grated cheese on each burger, then the bacon. Use a heatproof bowl to put over the top off all the burgers in the pan, this helps the cheese melt
Put a layer of syn free coleslaw on the bottom of your bun, then stack 2 burgers and top with your BBQ sauce.
Serve with spicy wedges and speed foods!
