Bec’s “anything goes” Shawarma Burger
Description
By Bec Laney
Makes 4 decent sized patties.
Success:
Great, but I think I would add some lemon zest and juice into the next mixture.
Ingredients
| 500g lean beef mince |
| 1 tbsp Sami's Kitchen Shawarma Spice Blend |
| 1 med chopped onion |
| 1 tsp chilli powder (optional) |
| 1/2 cup wholemeal breadcrumbs (store bought or make sure bread is a bit on the stale side if making your own) |
| 1 egg |
| feta chunks (as much or little as you like, make sure 'chunks' are a decent size) |
Directions
- 1
- Mix all ingredients together, crumbling feta in at the very end so feta pieces remain a decent size. With wet hands form mixture into burger patties (about 2cm thick).
- 2
- Heat oil in a fry pan (or on BBQ), add patties and brown evenly on both sides. Cover, lower heat slightly and cook for several minutes until patties are cooked through but not overcooked.

- Build burgers with your choice of ingredients. We used baby spinach, cucumber, tomato, avocado and egg plus sauces
- 5
- Other alternatives, substitute egg and cucumber for yoghurt, mint, cucumber sauce or for the ultimate burger add a Falafel pattie (use Sami's Kitchen Falafel mix to make your own or buy a store bought mixture) and hummus.
