Mini Burgers

Grated apple is the secret ingredient here. It makes the burgers succulent and tender, giving them a flavour that babies love. Simply blitz all the ingredients together in a blender and you’re good to go. Freeze any leftover cooked burgers so you know you have a home-cooked meal ready and waiting on those busy days.

Ingredients

75g / 3oz fresh breadcrumbs
1 small red onion, chopped
100g / 4oz peeled and grated carrot
50g / 2oz peeled, cored and grated apple
250g / 9oz lean minced beef
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
25g / 1oz grated Parmesan cheese
Canapé-style mini burger rolls (optional)
Carrot sticks, halved cherry tomatoes and tomato ketchup, to serve

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.
