For the past year, I have been cutting down my intake of
processed foods so I wanted to create a healthy homemade burger recipe, these
also happen to be gluten free burgers.
All the recipes I found were ok but I generally tend to find
homemade burgers a little bland. On my quest to cut out processed food I had
also created a fajita spice mix so I thought, why not combine the two and so
this recipe was born!
Mexican Burgers
Ingredients
·
500g Beef Mince (I find 12% fat works best)
·
1 red onion (finely chopped or grated)
·
1 egg
·
1 – 1 ½ tbspn Fajita Mix (recipe here)
Method
Mix all the ingredients together. Form into 4 burgers (if you're being a perfectionist you can weigh them!) and
wrap each in Clingfilm. Place in the fridge for half an hour. Cook on a griddle
pan or frying pan for about 7 – 8 minutes per side depending how well done you
want them to be.
You can freeze the raw burgers and defrost and cook when
needed.
I served mine with home-made guacamole, salad and sweet
potato fries.
The Hackit
The hackit has just come to the UK and is available from
2tech Ltd. It’s a kitchen tool that is designed and manufactured in Norway. It
has become Norway’s best-selling single kitchen tool, having sold over 1
million pieces in a country with a population of just 5 million.
Its primary design is to break up mince whilst cooking. It
can also be used to mash, chop and break up a variety of foods such as
biscuits, avocados, berries, bananas, potatoes etc. Alternatively use it to
stir sauces or soups.
I used it to mix together the raw mince and other ingredients for my
burgers. Also, to mash up the avocado to serve with the burgers. It really
helped, was easy to use and is comfortable to hold. I think the hackit looks cool too!
When making bolognaise this week I also used the hackit to
break up the mince.
I have also mashed potatoes with it (the pictures weren’t easy as the steam from the potatoes kept steaming up the lens!) The potatoes passed my daughters taste test so that’s a
complimentary review right there.
I’m sure I will be reaching for my hackit whilst cooking
more and more.
My personal favourite use for it was making the guacamole.
