Name: Healthy Burgers Packed With Hidden Vegetables
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 450 g lean beef mince; cooked beans, chickpeas, lentils; 1 carrot; 1 courgette; 1/2 large onion; 6 hamburger buns (whole grain are good); 6 tablespoons hummus, of your choice; 6 teaspoons spicy tomato salsa or 6 teaspoons chutney; 2 cups salad greens; 6 red ripe tomatoes; salt and pepper

Servings: persons

1
Put the mince in a large bowl. Drain the can of beans. Grate the carrot and courgette and add to the meat.
2
In a food processor or blender, mince the onion. Add the beans and process until you have a smooth puree (or chop the onion finely and mash the beans by hand).
3
Add this mixture to the meat and using clean hands, mix it all together until well blended. Form the mixture into burger patties - this should make at least 6, or more if you like them smaller.
4
Cook the burgers either on the barbecue or under a hot grill in the oven until well-cooked (test with a skewer - juices should run clear).
5
Spread buns with hummus and salsa, and construct your burgers with the cooked meat patties, lettuce and tomato.
