Ingredients
- 6 large Portobello mushrooms
- ½ avocado
- ½ red onion
- 1 tomato
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 1 small brown onion, diced
- 1 Tbsp mixed dried herbs
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 300g beef mince
- 3-6 slices of cheese
- Olive or coconut oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper
- De-stem the mushrooms and place them on the tray. Drizzle olive or coconut oil over the mushrooms, season with a little salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 15minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. They will shrink in size a little
- When cooked, place the mushrooms stem side down on paper towel to remove excess moisture. Allow to cool
- While the mushrooms are cooking get the rest of your vegetables ready. Slice the tomatoes, avocado, red onion and cheese. Wash the lettuce and dry with paper towel
- To make the patties combine beef mince, onion, egg and herbs together in a bowl. Shape mixture into 3 patties (ensure they are not larger than the mushrooms). Heat olive or coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side, or until cooked through
- When all of the ingredients are ready, build your burger. Enjoy!
