Leanburgers With Rocket Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the couscous into a medium bowl, pour over 75ml/21⁄2fl oz boiling water and leave it for a few minutes to swell and absorb all the water. Add the mince, onion, dried herbs, chives and chilli powder then grind in plenty of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly then shape into 6 oval burgers - slightly larger than the bread slices.Cover with foil and chill until ready to cook. (Can be made up to 24 hours ahead.)
• Preheat the grill or barbecue then cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes on each side, or more if you like them well cooked.
• Grill or lightly toast the slices of bread and spread with mustard. Top with the peppers, rocket and a burger and serve.

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a large bowl. Use your hands to lightly mix and combine the ingredients. Form into 4 equally sized patties and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, onion, and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the vegetables quickly, moving around in the skillet until the onion is just beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and keep warm.
• Place beef patties in the same skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add the vegetables on top of and around the patties. Pour in beef broth. Reduce heat to medium and cook until patties reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) when tested with an instant-read thermometer, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the patties to serving plates and top with the vegetables. Allow liquid in the skillet to boil and reduce to about 1/2 cup. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the skillet sauce over each serving. Serve warm.
