A delicious hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin! To reduce
saturated fat in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up
for it with healthy ingredients such as wholemeal bread crumbs, chopped vegetables,
cooked rice, other grains or cereals.
If you wish to add cheese to your burger, Swiss cheese is lower in fat than Cheddar.
Another healthy alternative if you like condiments with your burger, mustard contains far
less fat than mayonnaise and far less sugar than barbecue sauce.
Top your Powerburger with fresh slices of tomato, dark, leafy green lettuce such as
spinach and finish with fresh parsley and basil leaves.
Ingredients:
¼ cup finely chopped vegetables (eg. spring onions, zucchini, red or green capsicum)
¼ cup grated carrot
¼ cup wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tbs parsley
2 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
750g lean minced beef (5-star)
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper
