Tuna and Caper Cheesy Burgers

Image
This burger is almost too big to get your mouth around!  However, once you master this, you will find this a delicious recipe. Tuna mixed with capers and cheese are a very good combination, and even children will like this unusual burger. I made it as a main meal and therefore made the patty larger than normal.  I added salads to make it healthier, and served it with raw green peas, and extra lettuce. Preparation Time: 20 minutes (plus 15 minutes in the fridge, optional) Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: 1 serving Ingredients 1 95 g tin Tuna 1 spring onion 1 tbsp Capers 1 tbsp parsley, chopped ½ cup breadcrumbs 1 very small egg, lightly beaten ½ cup grated tasty cheese 1 tbsp olive oil TO SERVE: 2 slices tasty cheese, or grated 1 roll, halved A little mayonnaise Bit of tomato sauce (optional) ¾ cup mixed lettuce leaves ½ tomato, sliced Instructions: Combine the tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, spring onions, grated cheese, parsley and capers.

FISH AND AVOCADO BURGER

Image
This recipe is great when you don't want to do a lot of work and it is quite low in calories. Also it uses only one frypan which is something I love, as I do not like doing hand washing, and I always hand wash my pots. I always take out some of the middle of the bread rolls, which means you get less calories and more room to put the fillings in.  I used long hot dog type rolls for this one,  however you can use an ordinary hamburger rolls. This recipe can easily be doubled for more people, and it is far healthier than buying a shop made burger. I used  white Snapper however any white fish would also work well for this delicious burger. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 6 minutes Makes: 2 servings Ingredients 2 pieces fish ½ red onion ½ avocado, mashed 1 tbsp chopped parsley 1 tbsp ricotta or cottage cheese ½ ripe tomato 1 tbsp lemon juice ½ to ¾ tbsp sweet chili sauce 2 bread rolls, halved 1 cups mushrooms, sliced fine Black pepper ...

TANDOORI CHICKEN BURGERS

Image
These chicken burgers are quite unusual for a burger, and are great for the whole family, or you can change the quantities for less. Tandoori is an Indian spice which is often used in chicken dishes and is red in colour.  In this recipe I have bought the Tandoori paste, however I often make my own (and this will be a separate recipe), as when I make my own, I know there will be no preservatives in it and I know exactly what goes into it, unlike when you buy it ready made.  Also ready made products usually have a lot of salt included in them, and you will find I do not use much salt in most of my cooking. This is a great weekend meal, and particularly good for lunch when you cannot think of what ot make and are sick of cooking every night! Try them and be impressed as they are very tasty and this recipe is quick and easy. Preparation Time:  35 minutes Cooking Time:  10 minutes Makes:  4 servings Ingredients 4 chicken thigh fillets, trimmed (500 g) ...
