Ingredients

  • 175g Quorn Meat Free Mince
  • 5 medium carrots sliced and cooked until soft then drained
  • 1 level tsp yeast extract
  • 50g fresh white bread crumbs, 2 slices approx
  • 6 dried apricots, finely chopped
  • 50g sultanas, finely chopped
  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced including green part
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 orange, zest only, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for frying (Quorn just needs to be added to the sauce, so the recipe requires about 50% less oil than you would usually use)
  • a little flour to dust burgers

Method

  1. Mash the carrots whilst still warm, stir through the yeast extract so that it melts
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well
  3. Form burgers either with your hands or use a suitable sized pastry cutter as a mould.
  4. Pack the mixture firmly into the mould and then remove carefully. This mixture makes 10-12 burgers depending on size
  5. Dust the burgers lightly with flour, shallow fry in preheated oil for 10-12 minutes on a medium heat, turning halfway for even browning
  6. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve in a bun with crispy lettuce leaves
