Mini Burgers

Grated apple is the secret ingredient in these Mini Burgers. It makes the burgers succulent and tender, giving them a flavour that babies love.

75g / 3oz fresh breadcrumbs
1 small red onion, chopped
100g / 4oz peeled and grated carrot
50g / 2oz peeled, cored and grated apple

1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Method

Place the breadcrumbs in the bowl of a food processor with the onion, carrot, apple, minced beef, garlic, thyme and Parmesan and blitz until finely chopped.
Transfer the burger mixture to a bowl and use your hands to shape it into 20 mini burgers.
Preheat the grill to high.
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil.
Place the burgers on the baking sheet and place under the grill for 5 minutes. Turn over and grill for a further 3–5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
Serve in mini burger rolls, if you wish, with carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes and ketchup.
