🥗Healthier: homemade patties

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans can be a budget-friendly base for homemade patties.

Peel and chop 2 small potatoes and add them to a pan.

Peel and chop 2 carrots into small chunks and add to the pan with the potatoes.

Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add chopped broccoli and green beans to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.

Drain the vegetables and transfer to a bowl.

Mash the potatoes with a fork to create a binder for the burgers.

Add 150 grams of strong cheddar cheese to the bowl.

Pour in 50 ml of double cream and add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then mix together.

Cover the mixture with cling film and place in the fridge for about an hour to firm up.

Prepare the coating by whisking 2 eggs in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix 50 grams of seasoned flour with salt, pepper, and 75 grams of panko breadcrumbs.

Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the panko breadcrumbs and mix until coated.

Sprinkle in some paprika for extra color.

After an hour, form the mixture into 6 patties.

Dip each patty in the flour, then in the egg, ensuring no flour is exposed, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Place the patties on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes.

Brush the inside of seeded brioche buns with a little olive oil and toast them in a hot pan.

Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and burger sauce (ketchup and mayo mixed together).
