Beef And Mushroom Burgers

Beef And Mushroom Burgers
serves 4

Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped
150g/5oz small cup mushrooms
450g/1lb lean minced beef
50g/2oz fresh wholemeal
breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
1 tablespoon tomato purée flour for shaping
salt and freshly ground black pepper

• Put the onion and mushrooms in a blender or food processor, and whiz until finely chopped. Add the beef, breadcrumbs, herbs and tomato purée, and season with salt and pepper. Blend for a few seconds until the mixture binds together but still has some texture.
• Divide the mixture into 8 to 10 pieces, then press into burger shapes using lightly floured hands.
• Cook the burgers in a non-stick frying pan or under a hot grill for 12–15 minutes, turning once, until evenly cooked. Serve hot.
