Organic, Beef, garlic mushroom and spinach burgers with all the trimmings.

500g of the highest quality mince you can get.

½ finely diced organic red onion

15 organic button mushrooms cut tiny weeny

1 large clove minced garlic

Clarified organic butter (or normal butter if you’re eating dairy)

1 large handful finely shredded organic spinach

3 egg whites (It is possible just using the whites made these stick better than any other burgers I have ever made – but I couldn’t’ tell you for sure, I also let them sit in the fridge a few hours before I cooked them, could it be that? I dunno – ought to ask a cooking person.)

Anyway,

Bit of butter, the mushrooms and garlic, just sort of swill round a warm pan for just enough time for the mushrooms to absorb the butter and take on the flavour of the garlic. Then take all the other ingredients, mix with your hands and season with sea salt and pepper generously. Shape into burgers and pop onto a baking tray covered in foil (Saves washing up!)

I actually baked these burgers, as I had too much going on to stand and watch them on the grill. Then I just finished them off in the frying pan to get rid of any soggy bits.

Meanwhile I baked the other half of the sliced onion with a little honey and olive oil, I sliced fresh chillies onto DHs half. (I’m still off nightshades)

We also served with;

Little gem lettuce to wrap it in

Grilled nitrate free, organic bacon

Courgette (zucchini) chips – sliced, courgette salted and oiled with olive oil then roasted

Fried quail eggs

Lettuce

Cucumber

Avocado and homemade mayo

All food is pretty much organic in our house at the moment. I just get bored of writing ‘organic’
